Suitcase Serenade

A suitcase packed I'm ready to roam

Leavin' this old place searchin' for a new home.

Jazz in my heart so mellow and sweet

Gonna lace my shoes and hit the city streets.

Farewell to the town that wore my name

Time to chase new dreams not more of the same.

The skyline is callin' with a saxophone sigh

In the hush of the night I'm sayin' goodbye.

Gotta love that's gone but the melody stays

Soft whispers of jazz 'neath neon rays.

Every note a memory every chord a tear

I'm packin' up my blues but I'll keep swingin' dear.

Lonely nights will find a new song

In smoky old clubs where I truly belong.

The city's a lover with a bebop beat

Dancin' on rooftops with magic in its feet.

Oh the rhythm of change it beats so slow

Like the moon in the sky with a glimmerin' glow.

I'll find my spotlight under twilight's hue

With a suitcase of dreams and a love that's true.

I'll hold my head high and lift up my voice

In a chorus of new I'll make the choice.

The echo of brass the whisper of keys

Carry me softly on a sweet jazzy breeze.
