The streetlights hum their golden tune tonight
Shadows sway in rhythm with the light
A saxophone cries where love once stood
Notes spiraling through this neighborhood
Golden city nights whisper my name
Every alley burns with a soft
Sultry flame
The stars lean down they know my blues
This city's alive but it sings of you
Velvet clouds they hold the moon so high
Dreams unfold as the trumpet starts to sigh
Every face I meet wears secret scars
Yet we dance beneath these timeless stars
Oh the bass bumps low like a lover’s pulse
Each beat fills the air with sweet repulse
The rhythm breaks hearts yet heals with care
In this jazz-painted world that we declare
Golden city nights whisper my name
Every alley burns with a soft
Sultry flame
The stars lean down they know my blues
This city's alive but it sings of you
And when the music fades to a shadowed hush
The night keeps breathing its warm
Tender brush
Golden city dreams glow in lovers' eyes
And in their song this city's soul survives
