Verse 1 The city lights are fading slow, Like little stars beneath the rain, I hear a melody somewhere, Calling softly through the windowpane. A cup of coffee, midnight blue, Your photograph beside the flame, And in the quiet of this room, I almost hear you say my name. Verse 2 The moon is resting on the street, Silver shadows dance and sway, A lonely saxophone tonight Seems to know the words I cannot say. I close my eyes and drift away, To somewhere only dreamers know, Where every moment stays forever, And every heart learns how to slow. Chorus When the night remembers you, I can feel the old dreams coming through, Like a whisper in the rain, Like a sweet and distant refrain. When the night remembers me, I'm still the person I used to be, Lost somewhere between the stars, And the memory of who we are. Verse 3 The clock keeps moving, time moves on, But some memories never leave, They hide inside an old jazz song, Waiting for the heart to believe. Perhaps tomorrow brings the sun, Perhaps another road begins, But tonight I'll let the silence Hold the places you've been in. Pre-Chorus And if the morning comes too soon, I'll keep this moment underneath the moon… Chorus When the night remembers you, Every lonely star begins to glow, And the world becomes so still, Like a dream waiting on a windowsill. When the night remembers me, I can finally breathe and simply be, No more questions, no more why, Just your memory beneath the sky. Bridge Maybe love was never meant To stay exactly as it came, Maybe some hearts cross our paths Just to teach us how to change. And if we meet again someday, Somewhere beneath another moon, I'll smile and thank the years For bringing me back to you. Final Chorus When the night remembers you, I hear that old familiar tune, Softly floating through the air, Like a dream that still lives somewhere. When the night remembers me, I find a little peace inside the melody, And though the years may carry on, Some beautiful memories never disappear. Outro So let the city fall asleep, Let the moonlight paint the room, I'll close my eyes and dream awhile… And let the night remember you. Piano plays a slow D♭ Major jazz voicing… tenor saxophone answers with one final breath… upright bass fades…
