Verse 1 There’s a sparkle in the doorway, Gold dust in the air, Coats tossed on the chairs Like we’re staying for a while in here. The piano’s cutting soft corners, The bass is walking low, And the brass starts trading smiles When the room begins to glow. Pre-Chorus Hear that trumpet tease the rhythm, Hear that saxophone sigh— Every little note is saying “Tonight we’re gonna feel alive.” Chorus (Option 1) Brass and mistletoe, Let it swing, let it glow, Toe-to-toe in the candlelight, Dancing through the winter night. Brass and mistletoe, Hear the whole room say hello— If the snow falls soft outside, We’ll stay warm in the glow. ⸻ Verse 2 Someone’s laughing by the bar now, Someone spins around, Little clinks of crystal Keeping time with the sound. A trombone leaning into midnight, Drums that never rush the beat, And the floor starts getting lighter When you move your dancing feet. Pre-Chorus Hear the brass line bloom and answer, Like a toast in the night— Every echo in the ceiling Turns the cold to candlelight. Chorus Brass and mistletoe, Let it swing, let it glow, Toe-to-toe in the candlelight, Dancing through the winter night. Brass and mistletoe, Hear the whole room say hello— If the snow falls soft outside, We’ll stay warm in the glow. ⸻ Bridge Leave the year at the doorstep, Let the worries disappear, We’ve got rhythm, we’ve got laughter, We’ve got everything we need right here. If tomorrow wants to hurry, Tonight says “take it slow,” Two-stepping through December In a brightening holiday glow. ⸻ Final Chorus (bigger / ad-libs friendly) Brass and mistletoe, Let it swing, let it glow, Toe-to-toe in the candlelight, Dancing through the winter night. Brass and mistletoe, Hear the whole room say hello— If the snow falls soft outside, We’ll stay warm in the glow. (yeah we will… in the glow…) Outro tag Brass and mistletoe… Let it swing, let it glow…
