[Verse] In a smoky room down in the Quarter, She sipped sweet bourbon from the border, Her eyes like twilight, a dusky charade, She danced through the night, love masquerade. [Verse 2] Brass blares loud through a sultry haze, Sweat and dreams blend in steamy malaise, Her laughter rings out, oh, how it sways, Turns the night into a fiery blaze. [Chorus] Oh, sweet bourbon kisses, they linger on, Each note of the trumpet, a sultry dawn, In a city where the jazz never ends, Hearts get lost, and no one pretends. [Bridge] Streetcars clatter, lovers in disguise, Under wrought-iron balconies, beneath southern skies, Every saxophone whisper, a secret shared, In the rhythm of mardi gras, souls bared. [Verse 3] We waltzed till dawn beneath Spanish moss, To the cadence of dreams, we turned and tossed, With every beat, our passions lush, In the silent moments, felt the hush. [Chorus] Oh, sweet bourbon kisses, they linger on, Each note of the trumpet, a sultry dawn, In a city where the jazz never ends, Hearts get lost, and no one pretends.
