Блеск украденных бриллиантов (The Sparkle of Stolen Diamonds)

Your silver gloves left fingerprints On the handle of the door You smiled as if the night were yours Then asked what locks are for The waiter dropped a matchbook With a number and a name I tucked it in my stocking And stepped into the game Tiptoe, darling, count to four Keep your secrets by the door If the vault begins to sing Take the diamonds, leave the ring Tiptoe, darling, don't look back Velvet footsteps on the black When the morning calls my name I'll be somewhere else again A blue glass moon on marble Made the hallway look polite You whispered, "Left at the staircase" I whispered, "Right tonight" The guard was fond of card tricks And terribly easy to charm I dealt him one red queen Then slipped beneath his arm Tiptoe, darling, count to four Keep your secrets by the door If the vault begins to sing Take the diamonds, leave the ring Tiptoe, darling, don't look back Velvet footsteps on the black When the morning calls my name I'll be somewhere else again The city kept its curtains closed While we divided spoils A velvet box, a borrowed kiss And perfume over coils You said, "We make a lovely pair" I said, "Don't get attached" Then vanished with the sunrise And half the silver cash Tiptoe, darling, count to four Keep your secrets by the door If the vault begins to sing Take the diamonds, leave the ring Tiptoe, darling, don't look back Velvet footsteps on the black When the morning calls my name I'll be somewhere else again
