Lovin' at Birdland

WE USED TO DANCE TO HARLEM NOCTURNE

WE WERE A RHAPSODY AT MIDNIGHT

AND WHEN WE KISSED IT WAS A SLOW BURN

AND WE KNEW JUST THE WAY TO MAKE IT

 

WHISKEY ON THE ROCKS

WHISPERS IN THE DARK

LIST’NIN’ TO THE BLUES

LOVIN’ BIRDLAND AND YOU

 

YOU USED TO SAY I WAS YOUR TONY

JUST LIKE THE BOY IN 'WEST SIDE STORY'

YOU SAID I WAS YOUR ONE AND ONLY

AND LOVE WAS THERE FOR US TO TAKE IT

 

WHISKEY ON THE ROCKS

COLTRANE IN THE DARK

SWAYING TO THE BLUES

LOVIN’ BIRDLAND AND YOU

 

LOVE THAT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY

A PERFECT BIRDLAND FANTASY

NEVER DREAMED YOU'D FLY AWAY FROM ME

AND LEAVE ME CRYIN' AT BIRDLAND

 

SOMETIMES I DRIVE BACK TO THE CITY

ACROSS THE BRIDGE THE SKYLINE CALLS ME 

AND I GET CAUGHT UP IN THOSE MEMORIES

AND EVEN NOW IT'S HARD TO SHAKE IT

 

CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S THROUGH

I’M LIVING WITH THE BLUES

HELL, WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

I’M STILL LOVIN’ BIRDLAND AND YOU
