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.
