===============================
Before I was saved by my better half, I
Once disappeared in a black and white photograph
That I was just staring at
Framed on someone's wall
How long it lasted I could not say, but
All of my heroes returned to play one last gig
And there was I, in the
Middle of it all
I'm drinkin Mai Thais, with pink umbrellas
I'm thinking "My how
High the moon."
I hear the man say
"Heads up fellas."
I hear the band play
Monk's new tune
We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune
Since you're a skeptic I'll say no more Of
course this was happening way back
Before, before, but
Nevertheless, it was very real to me
Exactly like it was yesterday, my
Ears hear the music my hands were blessed to play
Inside that picture that took command of me
I'm drinkin Mai Thais, with pink umbrellas
I'm thinking "My how
High the moon."
I hear the man say
"Heads up fellas."
I hear the band play
Monk's new tune
We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune
We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune
