8:05 to Broadway

[Intro]
[Verse]
Coffee steam rises high (high)
Blueberry pie on the side (side)
He walks in at 8:05
Makes me feel so alive
Silver tray in my hand
Best musician in the land
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart skips a beat
Dancing on my feet
Apron strings tied tight
Dreaming of the night
[Chorus]
Take me to the city lights
Through those velvet New York nights
Leave this diner far behind
You’re the only one on my mind
With your sax and my heart
That’s where the music starts
[Post-Chorus]
(New York City)
Take me there
(New York City)
Show you care
[Verse]
Sugar cubes in a row (row)
Watching the traffic flow (flow)
You pack up your brass case
I can’t hide it on my face
One more refill for the road
Heavy is this lonely load
[Pre-Chorus]
Sunlight on the glass
Watch the minutes pass
Uniform of pale blue
Waiting just for you
[Chorus]
Take me to the city lights
Through those velvet New York nights
Leave this diner far behind
You’re the only one on my mind
With your sax and my heart
That’s where the music starts
[Bridge]
Quarter in the jukebox slot
Give it everything you got
Strings are swelling in the air
Wind is blowing through my hair
Motor City’s getting cold
NYC is paved with gold
[Hook]
Saxophone play it loud
Stand out in the crowd
Take me to the stage
Turn the final page
[Chorus]
Take me to the city lights
Through those velvet New York nights
Leave this diner far behind
You’re the only one on my mind
With your sax and my heart
That’s where the music starts
[Post-Chorus]
(New York City)
Take me there
(New York City)
Show you care
[Verse]
Sunlight hits the vinyl booth
Telling me the honest truth
I’m just a girl with a dream
Floating on a cloud of steam
But if you ask me to go
I’d never tell you no
[Chorus]
Take me to the city lights
Through those velvet New York nights
Leave this diner far behind
You’re the only one on my mind
With your sax and my heart
That’s where the music starts
[Outro]
