[Intro]
*(Smooth double bass walk, brushed snare, muted trumpet hums a lazy motif. A dimly lit club, smoke curls toward the ceiling.)*
[Verse 1]
Midnight whispers through the city haze
Streetlights paint the pavement in a smoky glaze
A piano trickles, cool and bittersweet
Lost in this rhythm, tapping weary feet
The bass line pulses, deep and low and slow
A story waiting, where the melodies flow
[Chorus]
Oh, this midnight reverie, a jazz-infused dream
Where the saxophone sighs by the soft candle gleam
We sway in the shadows, no need to explain
Just the brush on the cymbal, the soft fall of rain
Doo-bop-shoo-wah, scatting the night away
In this cool, cool corner, where the blue notes play
[Verse 2]
Trumpet takes a solo, muted and low
Telling tales of places only dreamers know
A velvet voice murmurs, low and undefined
Leaving all the worries somewhere far behind
Fingers snap the tempo, loose and feeling free
Lost inside the harmony, just the jazz and me
[Chorus]
Oh, this midnight reverie, a jazz-infused dream
Where the saxophone sighs by the soft candle gleam
We sway in the shadows, no need to explain
Just the brush on the cymbal, the soft fall of rain
Shoo-be-doo-bah, riding the changes high
Underneath the spotlight, reaching for the sky
[Bridge]
*(Uptempo Bebop break: Piano runs cascade, drums trade fours, saxophone spirals sharp and bright. Energy builds, then settles back down.)*
Bass walks it home now, steady as a train
Back to the cool groove, easing down the strain
[Chorus]
Oh, this midnight reverie, a jazz-infused dream
Where the saxophone sighs by the soft candle gleam
We sway in the shadows, no need to explain
Just the brush on the cymbal, the soft fall of rain
Doo-wah-doo-dah... fading soft and low...
[Outro]
*(Music gradually softens. Piano plays sparse, resonant chords. Bass holds a final deep note. Cymbal shimmers once, then silence. The last wisp of smoke dissolves.)*
