[Verse 1] I caught the train doors sighing Down on Mercer and Pine A paper bag of cherries And a quarter after nine The bakery window glowed With a little sugar shine You met me by the corner And we both said, "Right on time" [Pre-Chorus] The street was wearing pearls In the puddles by the curb You laughed and tipped your hat Like you knew the perfect word [Chorus] Sweet night, stay a while Swing me down the avenue Sweet night, stay a while I'm feeling bright with you Sax says yes My heart says too Sweet night, stay a while I'm dancing through [Verse 2] We watched a couple argue Then make up by the door A taxi kissed the crosswalk And rolled along for more The diner was still open With a pie on every plate You stole my cherry napkin Said, "Now that's a lucky fate" [Pre-Chorus] The bassline in the distance Kept a tidy little grin And every glass on Broadway Held the moonlight caged within [Chorus] Sweet night, stay a while Swing me down the avenue Sweet night, stay a while I'm feeling bright with you Sax says yes My heart says too Sweet night, stay a while I'm dancing through [Bridge] Let the clock be gentle Let the hours lose their name We can ride this easy feeling Like a ribbon in a frame No need for tomorrow This is plenty, this is gold Just your hand against my sleeve now And the story we both hold [Chorus] Sweet night, stay a while Swing me down the avenue Sweet night, stay a while I'm feeling bright with you Sax says yes My heart says too Sweet night, stay a while I'm dancing through [Outro] Moon on the corner booth Laughing in the glass We leave a little sparkle Everywhere we pass
