[Verse 1] I took the long way down To let the evening choose A brim of brass on window glass And little shoes The corner stand was laughing With a cup of candied steam I felt the whole block hum a tune Like it was part of my dream [Pre-Chorus] Then you smiled by the record shop And the whole night leaned Your coat caught light from a passing cab Like a ribbon of green [Chorus] Moon over Minton We’re easy tonight Moon over Minton Everything feels right Hold that note Let it swing Moon over Minton And we dance through the ring [Verse 2] A sax man wore a silver grin Beside the second floor He sent one blue and velvet line Right through the open door We split a peach and a secret At the little café bar You tapped the glass like counting time And said we’ve come this far [Pre-Chorus] Then the bass walked slow beside us Like a gentleman And I forgot the clock for once As we stepped in again [Chorus] Moon over Minton We’re easy tonight Moon over Minton Everything feels right Hold that note Let it swing Moon over Minton And we dance through the ring [Bridge] [Half-time] Let the whole block breathe Let the shy bells ring I found my laugh in your hand Found my feet in the swing [Sax Break] [Final Chorus] Moon over Minton We’re easy tonight Moon over Minton Everything feels right Hold that note Let it swing Moon over Minton And we dance through the ring Moon over Minton Stay close, stay kind Moon over Minton Leave the rest behind Hold that note Let it swing Moon over Minton Till the morning chime
