Moonlight in Mississippi

--- 🎵 “Moonlight in Mississippi” --- [Verse 1] Down where the river kisses the trees, I hear that southern wind callin’ me. Soft night air, and a pale blue tune, Got me dreamin’ ‘bout lovin’ you soon. Moonlight dancin’ on the water’s skin, Feels like a promise deep within, Hearts beat slow where the fireflies spin, Under that moonlight in Mississippi again. --- [Chorus] Oh, that moonlight in Mississippi, Shinin’ like a sweet love song. Hold me close, don’t you miss me, We’ve been waitin’ all night long. The tambourine’s tappin’, the saxophone sighs, Flute whispers softly as the moments fly. Yeah, that moonlight in Mississippi — It makes a good man cry. --- [Verse 2] Magnolia scent and a midnight breeze, The sound of your laughter floatin’ through the trees, You sway so easy, honey, just like jazz, Ain’t no place better than right where we’re at. Piano hums low, like a front porch prayer, Tambourine keeps time with the summer air, I found heaven where the slow songs play — Mississippi moonlight leads the way. --- [Bridge – Sax & Flute --- [Final Chorus] Oh, that moonlight in Mississippi, Where the stars know your name. We’re tangled up in that river rhythm, And love’s still burnin’ like a flame. The tambourine shakes, and the night drifts by, Flute hums the tune while the sax says goodbye. Yeah, that moonlight in Mississippi — Will shine ‘til the end of time. --- [Outro] 🎹 Piano slows down, one last gospel chord. 🎷 Saxophone holds the final note — warm, fading into night. ---
