[00:11.72]Jazz in a basement bar, the moon's on the rain
[00:16.22]Drunk too much, spent too much, penniless again
[00:21.68]Oh, sweetheart, where are you tonight?
[00:27.07]I remember when we used to walk by the Thames
[00:32.45]The lights on the embankment like jewels on chains
[00:36.96]I'll never forget what you said at the start,
[00:42.45]You said "I'll put a string of lights
[00:45.14]'Round your heart"
[00:57.70]I've got your photograph, the one that you signed
[01:02.26]Tucked in my pocket, all tattered by time
[01:07.61]Oh, sweetheart who's with you tonight?
[01:13.08]Are you there at the roundabouts, down in the park,
[01:17.63]Where you sneak through the railings,
[01:20.39]When it's Locked after dark?
[01:23.01]Is she learning the song you taught me at the start?
[01:28.44]The one the bells and the banjos played on our hearts
[01:51.92]Now the bars are all empty, everybody's gone home
[01:58.21]Perhaps I'll walk down the embankment alone
[02:01.86]Oh, sweetheart, I'm glad that we met
[02:09.06]And that there's jazz in the basement bars
[02:12.65]And jewels on chains
[02:16.31]'Cause I've drunk too much
[02:18.17]And spent too much,
[02:21.72]But there's moon on the rain
[02:49.79]🎵
