ALABAMA JAZZ

so I dream we

we are sitting face to face

in some diner

and for some reason

Eliington is at the counter

playing the piano

and Jimmy B-

he's there too

and we

you and me

are speaking in tune

with their beat

and the heat.....

well it ain't from the kitchen

but that's what happens

when you snuggle down

with JAZZ on the brain

on a winter's night

in Alabama

broken time speaks

with a drawl

like your eyes speak

to mine

in double time

on a winter's night

in Alabama
