Moonlit Shadows of New Orleans

In the crescent city's glow, where the bayou breezes stew Jazz notes weave their story, in a tale both old and new Love and loss linger, like the Spanish moss so grey And the heartstrings of the city, softly start to play In a smoky corner bar, where the trumpet's sad and sweet Couples sway together, to a long-forgotten beat The ghosts of lovers past, whisper secrets in the night In the moonlit shadows, every note feels just right New Orleans, oh New Orleans, where blues and love entwine In your streets and alleyways, lost souls find their sign Through your songs of sorrow, and melodies so grand We feel the heart of Dixie, in this timeless land On a balcony at twilight, with the city's hum below A pair of pensive eyes, search for dreams that ebb and flow The saxophone's lament, calls to memories not forgot In New Orleans, time stands still, in each and every thought.
