Play it low, let it linger A melody caught on a phantom finger
Smoke curls high where the shadows grew This is jazz at midnight in the key of blues
Trumpet whispers like a secret untold Piano keys dripping with stories of old
The bass walks slow, steady and bold While the saxophone weeps sweet and cold
Every note's a sigh, a dance, a plea A conversation lost between you and me
The rhythm sways like a ship on the sea
This is jazz at midnight in the key of blues
Bound by the tides of this melody
Smoke in the key of blues
Every chord paints a shade of you
A tune so sharp yet soft and true
We're lost in the haze in the key of blues
Simple shimmer like stars in a dream
The night is alive though it feels unseen
Things are changing, things are changing



Fingers on strings pluck the in-between
Where silence whispers what the words mean
The room hums warm with a velvet glow
Swirling gin and jazz in the undertow
Every phrase bends, every tempo slows
It's a dance we follow where the music goes
Let it break, let it breathe, let it fall apart
Improvise, improvise, improvise, improvise
Lines trace the cracks of the heart
Every solo's a story, a work of art
In the smoke and the *** where the echoes start
Smoke in the key of blues
Every chord paints a shade of you
A tune so sharp yet soft and true
We're lost in the haze in the key of blues

Play it low, let it linger
A melody caught on a phantom finger
Smoke curls high where the shadows grew
This is jazz forever in the key of blues
play it low let it linger a melody caught on a phantom finger smoke curls high where the shadows
grew this is jazz forever in the key of blue
