We used to dance to Harlem nocturne
We were a rhapsody at midnight
And when we kissed it was a slow burn
And we knew how to make it

Whiskey on the rocks
Whispers in the dark
Listenin' to the blues
Lovin' Birdland and you

You used to say I was your Tony
Just like the guy in West Side Story
You said I was your one and only
And love was there to make it

Whiskey on the rocks
Coltrane in the dark
Swayin' to the blues
Lovin' Birdland and you

Love that took my breath away
A perfect Birdland fantasy
Never dreamed you'd fly away from me
And leave me cryin' at Birdland

Sometimes I drive back to the city
Across the bridge the skyline calls me
And I get caught up in those feelings
And even now I try to shake it

I can't believe it's through
I'm living with the blues
Oh, what else can I do?
I'm still lovin' Birdland and you

I can't believe it's through
Oh, what else can I do?
I'm living with the blues
I'm still lovin' Birdland and you, hmm

Still lovin' Birdland and you"
