Lyric

Curtain-Up Swing

Nocturne Echo

Curtain up, curtain up

Let the velvet breathe

Tippy-tap, the first light

Finds the shiny keys

Step in soft, dear

Heels on the line

Cufflinks glimmer

Like a glass of wine

Clarinet laughing

From the side aisle blue

I'm all dressed up

Just to swing with you

Hold that breath now

The room leans near

Brass in the wings

And the grin appears

Curtain up, curtain up

Let us go

Curtain up, curtain up

Nice and slow

Oh, we shine

Oh, we swing

We swing

Curtain up, curtain up

Hear me sing

Piano prances

On a polished clue

Bass walks steady

Like it always knew

Brushes whisper

On a satin floor

I give you one wink

Then I ask for more

Hold that breath now

The lights run gold

Every small heart

Starts to roll

Curtain up, curtain up

Let us go

Curtain up, curtain up

Nice and slow

Oh, we shine

Oh, we swing

We swing

Curtain up, curtain up

Hear me sing

Step by step now

We make it glide

Moon in the rafters

And jazz inside

Clap on two

Then sway on three

Sway on three

Baby, this whole room

Is a launch for me

Curtain up, curtain up

Let us go

Curtain up, curtain up

Nice and slow

Oh, we shine

Oh, we swing

We swing

Curtain up, curtain up

Hear me sing

Tippy-tap, the final bow

Curtain up, now

Curtain up, now
