Lyrics

[Verse]
When the night falls down on Bourbon Street,
Whispers of memories we used to meet,
The lights are dim, and the crowd's a blur,
Each star above echoes a sighing murmur.

[Verse 2] I tip my hat to the band on stage,
Their lonesome tune's like a worn-out page,
In every chord, I can hear your name,
Wishing your smile could light the flame.

[Chorus]
Oh, heart of mine, why do you ache?
Every beat's a shiver, every breath's a quake,
Lost in the blues of New Orleans' sights,
Lonely under the gaslamp lights.

[Verse 3]
Through smoky bars and the alley's embrace,
I search for glimmers of your sweet face,
The harmonica cries with each gentle breeze,
Our love's a ghost I can never seize.

[Bridge]
So, I tread these streets with a heavy soul,
Jazz hums a tune of dreams untold,
The trumpet wails a sorrowful sound,
As I wander lonely ground.

[Verse 4]
The river's edge where we once danced,
Now echoes with a lost romance,
The moon reflects a tearful glare,
Reminding me that you're not there.
