The room hums low with faded tunes,
An amber hush melts in the room.
The trumpet sighs, the glasses clink,
A thousand stories start to sink,
But then your eyes caught hold of mine,
And the night slipped out of time.
The smoky air, the broken chairs,
The laughter threading through the stairs
But all I heard was your hello,
A quiet song the night would know.
In that old jazz bar,
Where the night forgets to end,
In that old jazz bar,
You weren't a stranger, you were a friend,
With a spark, with a sigh
You changed my whole life for a while.
The band played low, the world turned slow,
And all the lights began to glow,
The moment stretched, a breath, a spark
You wrote your name across my heart.
In that old jazz bar,
Where the night forgets to end,
In that old jazz bar,
You weren't a stranger, you were a friend,
With a spark, with a sigh
You changed my whole life for a while.
