Lyrics
[Intro]
(A tight, steppy drum beat opens the track, followed by a smooth slap bassline and clean, muted guitar scratches. Soft Prophet-5 pads swirl in the background with a gentle hand clap on the two and four.)
[Verse 1]
(LAYERED SILKY MALE LEAD VOCALS)
I’ve been waiting for the phone to ring
Hoping for the love that you might bring
I’m standing by and I’m ready to go
Just give me the sign and let me know
The time is right to make our move
[Verse 2]
(LAYERED SILKY MALE LEAD VOCALS)
I saw you dancing in the amber light
A vision of beauty in the night
No need to rush, let the feeling grow
We’ve got the rhythm and the steady flow
Moving in a circle of desire
[Pre-Chorus]
(WHISPERING MELODIC MALE HARMONY CHORUS)
Day and night, I’m by your side
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Keeping the flame burning so bright
Everything is gonna be alright
[Chorus 1]
24 HOUR SERVICE
(WHISPERING MALE CHORUS) 24 HOUR SERVICE
24 HOUR SERVICE
(WHISPERING MALE CHORUS) 24 HOUR SERVICE
(LEAD) Just call my name, baby!
[Verse 3]
(LAYERED SILKY MALE LEAD VOCALS)
The world outside is moving way too fast
But I know this feeling’s gonna last
Locked in a groove that we can’t escape
Finding the magic in every shape
Every moment spent with you is gold
[Verse 4]
(LAYERED SILKY MALE LEAD VOCALS)
I’ll be the one to catch you when you fall
Just give me a ring, give me a call
I’m on the clock, working overtime
Trying to make your loving spirit mine
There’s no limit to what I can do
[Bridge 1: Long Instrumental Break]
(An expansive section featuring a clean, rhythmic funk guitar solo and warm Fender Rhodes chords. The slap bass stays busy and melodic. Sharp horn stabs interject occasionally, maintaining a sophisticated 1981 urban atmosphere.)
[Pre-Chorus]
(WHISPERING MELODIC MALE HARMONY CHORUS)
Day and night, I’m by your side
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Keeping the flame burning so bright
(LEAD) Oh, it's so right!
[Chorus 2]
24 HOUR SERVICE
(WHISPERING MALE CHORUS) ANY TIME YOU NEED IT
24 HOUR SERVICE
(WHISPERING MALE CHORUS) I’LL BE THERE TO FEED IT
[Verse 5]
(LAYERED SILKY MALE LEAD VOCALS)
Whatever you want, whatever you need
I’m planting the garden, sowing the seed
The door is open, the light is on
I’ll be right here until the dawn
Faithful to the very end of time
[Bridge 2: Long Whispering Harmony Chorus]
(The rhythm section strips down to just the bass and drums. The male group harmony takes over with a long, breathy and melodic whispering section.)
(WHISPERING MELODIC MALE HARMONY CHORUS)
ALL DAY... ALL NIGHT...
WAITING FOR THE MOMENT...
FEEL THE LOVE... SO TIGHT...
ALWAYS ON DUTY... FOR YOUR BEAUTY...
KEEP IT MOVING... SOFT AND BREATHY...
[Verse 6]
(LAYERED SILKY MALE LEAD VOCALS)
So don’t you worry about the rainy days
I’ve got the sunshine in so many ways
A dedicated heart is hard to find
But I’m the one who’s always on your mind
The service is open for your love
[Chorus 3: Grand Finale]
24 HOUR SERVICE
(WHISPERING MALE CHORUS) 24 HOUR SERVICE

(WHISPERING MALE CHORUS) 24 HOUR SERVICE
(WHISPERING MALE CHORUS) OPEN ALL THE TIME
[Outro]
(SILKY MALE LEAD adds soulful ad-libs as the WHISPERING MALE CHORUS repeats the hook. The smooth slap bass and rhythmic guitar fade out slowly with the soft Prophet-5 synth pads.)
(LEAD): Call me up, day or night...
(GROUP): 24 HOUR SERVICE...
(LEAD): I'm always on the line...
(Final smooth synth swell and a gentle bass pop.)
