Lyrics

Gazebo In Gold

[Verse 1]
The gazebo’s standing still
Like it knew its cue
Flowers in the border beds
Lean in for the view

Stone is set, the path is swept
Every edge feels right
Mood lights tucked along the rail
Casting dim amber light

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the evening needs a skin
Something soft and slow
A little sway in every step
A little dance to flow

[Chorus]
Play that smooth jazz
Right out on the patio
Play that smooth jazz
Let the whole backyard glow
Gazebo dressed in gold
People sway and listen
Play that smooth jazz
Now the whole place glistens

[Verse 2]
String bass walks beneath the leaves
Easy as a spontaniious grin
Three-voice harmony drifts by
Pulling that smooth sound in

Harmonica slips through the air
Like a silver thread
Every lamp knows where to land
Every shadow is fed

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything is built and set
Nothing left to do
Just a soft late-night refrain
Make it perfect too

[Chorus]
Play that smooth jazz
Right out on the patio
Play that smooth jazz
Let the whole backyard glow
Gazebo dressed in gold
People sway and listen
Play that smooth jazz
Now the whole place glistens

[Bridge]
Well, the rock is in place
The wood is clean and dry
The glow hangs low and gentle
Under that stary night sky

So leave the doors wide open
Let the night come through
One slow tune for the moment
One long breath of blue

[Chorus]
Play that smooth jazz
Right out on the patio
Play that smooth jazz
Let the whole backyard flow
Gazebo dressed in gold
People sway and listen
Play that smooth jazz
Now the whole place glistens

[Outro]
Smooth jazz, sweet jazz
Set the mood, let it stay
Smooth jazz, sweet jazz
For the night, for the stay
