City Lights

[Verse] The city hums a sultry tune, beneath a crescent moon, Its heartbeat is a melody, a midnight sweet in June. The lamplight paints the sidewalks with a golden, fleeting glow, As we take another step, where only lovers go. [Chorus] Oh, the city whispers softly, in a rhythm all its own, A tender song of love that’s woven through the cobblestone. Your hand in mine, we sway along, this jazz keeps us alive, In this New Orleans night, my heart feels so revived. [Verse 2] The river sings its low refrain, a smooth and gentle sigh, Reflecting all the secrets in the stars that drift on by. The brass bands call from alleys, their echoes rich and deep, Serenading us in shadows, where the dreamy spirits leap. [Bridge] Oh, the saxophone's confession wraps the air in silky strings, And the piano strokes the moonlight, oh, what harmony it brings. The world around us fades away, two hearts in sweet embrace, The city smiles upon us, in its warm and tender grace. [Chorus] Oh, the city whispers softly, in a rhythm all its own, A tender song of love that’s woven through the cobblestone. Your hand in mine, we sway along, this jazz keeps us alive, In this New Orleans night, my heart feels so revived. [Verse 3] The night grows old, the wind it hums a softer, closing tune, The dawn begins its golden dance, but you're still my monsoon. The city breathes a love so pure, in every shadowed hue, And every street in New Orleans brings me closer still to you.
