{a cappella intro – soft humming}

Mmm-hmm… doo-wah… mmm-hmm…

Doo-wah… cocoon of love…

Verse 1

In your arms the world slows down,

City noise fades without a sound.

Every sigh pulls me tight,

Wrapped in dreams through the night.

Pre-Chorus

Lead — “Don’t wake me yet, let it bloom…”

BG — “Cocoon… cocoon…”

Lead — “In your warmth I found my room…”

BG — “Cocoon… cocoon…”

Chorus

Cocoon — keep me safe tonight,

Fold me deep in silver light.

Cocoon — don’t let me break,

Love’s the shell I can’t forsake.

{soft sax riff between verses}

Verse 2

Tomorrow waits beyond this skin,

But I don’t want the dawn to win.

Your whisper spins its velvet thread,

I live between what’s left unsaid.

Bridge (A Cappella)

Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, cocoon…

Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, hold soon…

{bass hums a slow “bom-bom-bom” beneath finger snaps}

Lead ad-libs: “Don’t break the spell, just stay…”

Final Chorus

Cocoon — keep me safe tonight,

Fold me deep in silver light.

Cocoon — till the morning’s near,

I’ll emerge when love is clear.
