[Intro]
(Soft piano… crickets outside… distant riverboat horn)
Mmm…
Some nights love feel eternal…
Like moonlight on the Mississippi…
Yeah…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Magnolia moon hanging low tonight
Silver reflections dancing in your eyes
We were sitting by the riverfront slow
Letting New Orleans move with the flow
Your head resting softly on my chest
Like the whole world finally came to rest
Trumpets floating from somewhere downtown
Soundtrack to a love we thought we found
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Warm summer breeze through the air so sweet
Carrying jazz from Bourbon Street
And every heartbeat close to mine
Felt like heaven frozen in time
⸻
[Chorus]
Magnolia moon shining over you
Making midnight feel brand new
Every kiss tasted soft like wine
Wrapped in southern love tonight
Lord the stars never looked this bright
Till you walked into my life
Magnolia moon…
Still glowing through my memories tonight
⸻
[Verse 2]
Barefoot dancing underneath streetlights
Laughing while the river rolled by
You whispered “don’t let this moment end”
Like somehow we both knew then
Cause some love stories burn too fast
Beautiful flames that never last
But for one night underneath that sky
We made forever feel alive
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Soft trumpet crying through the night
While moonlight painted your skin just right
And every bluesman in this town
Would trade his soul for what we found
⸻
[Chorus]
Magnolia moon shining over you
Making midnight feel brand new
Every kiss tasted soft like wine
Wrapped in southern love tonight
Lord the stars never looked this bright
Till you walked into my life
Magnolia moon…
Still glowing through my memories tonight
⸻
[Bridge]
Now every time that full moon rise…
I still see your silhouette by the river…
Still hear your laughter floating through the wind…
And maybe love never truly leave us…
Maybe it just become memory and moonlight…
⸻
[Instrumental Break]
(Warm blues guitar solo with soft trumpet harmonies and jazz piano fills)
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Magnolia moon still hanging high
Over old heartbreak and lullabies
Every lonely night I still rewind
Back to your hand touching mine
And though your love slipped through my hands
Like river water and drifting sand
Magnolia moon…
Still shining on this broken soul tonight
⸻
[Outro]
(Riverboat horn fades… soft piano ending)
Yeah…
Some people leave…
But certain nights never do…
Mmm…
