(Title: Moonlight on the Bayou) (Intro) Cicadas hum a slow and hazy tune Piano chords like water, beneath the pale moon A lonesome pan flute sings, a melody so blue (Verse 1) Down on the bayou, where shadows softly creep Spanish moss is swaying, secrets buried deep Of whispered promises, beneath the cypress trees (Chorus) Moonlight on the bayou, washes over me A bittersweet remembering, of what used to be This waltz of gentle sorrow, flows just like the stream (Verse 2) The scent of magnolias, sweet upon the night Reminds me of your presence, bathed in silver light A phantom embrace lingers, a dream I can't hold onto (Chorus) Moonlight on the bayou, washes over me A bittersweet remembering, of what used to be This waltz of gentle sorrow, flows just like the stream (Bridge) The stars like diamonds shimmer, in the velvet sky above A yearning in my heart, for a lost and tender love That drifted like a riverboat, beyond the morning dew (Chorus) Moonlight on the bayou, washes over me A bittersweet remembering, of what used to be This waltz of gentle sorrow, flows just like the stream (Outro) The water flows on softly, beneath the moon's soft gleam My whispered "goodbye, cher" echoes, a fading, mournful dream... Mournful dream...
