Lyrics
The chairs are going up on the tables The bartender dims the lights There's one more song inside the piano For the last of the late night You're by the door with your coat half on But I see you listening Take it off, and stay a while I'll play it slow, just for you Last song of the night, stay a while Let me hear you hum along Last song of the night, stay a while The street can wait, and so can the dawn Last song of the night, stay a while The vibes are soft as falling rain The bass walks home alone Take my hand, we'll find the beat In the light of the neon sign Nobody's hurrying The city's gone to sleep One more chorus, one more cup One more promise to keep Last song of the night, stay a while Let me hear you hum along Last song of the night, stay a while The street can wait, and so can the dawn Last song of the night, stay a while Stay a while Stay a while The last song of the night
