Lyric

Step right in

Close the door

Tonight the moon

Wants one encore

I pinned a rose to my sleeve

For the hush of your eyes

The velvet curtain breathes

As the first note climbs

A silver tray of glances

A glass with a crack in the rim

I smile like I mean it

Then let the shadows in

Come a little nearer

Hear the floorboards sigh

The night is wearing satin

And it fits me just right

One two

Hold that flame

I know your name

I know your name

Welcome to the moonlit cabaret

Moonlit cabaret

Dance with me

Don't look away

Under the moonlit cabaret

The waiter folds the napkins

Like secrets in white

A lipstick mark on the menu

Says you're staying tonight

The clarinet is crying

Soft as rain on glass

My heel taps out a warning

Too sweet to last

Come a little nearer

Let the room turn slow

The band is drawing circles

Where the red lights glow

One two

Stay with me

You'll see

You'll see

Welcome to the moonlit cabaret

Moonlit cabaret

Dance with me

Don't look away

Under the moonlit cabaret

Now the room goes narrow

And the moon goes thin

I sing you the truth

With a smile pinned in

If you came for a halo

You came to the wrong place

But if you came for trouble

Darling, take your seat

Welcome to the moonlit cabaret

Moonlit cabaret

Dance with me

Don't look away

Under the moonlit cabaret

Welcome to the moonlit cabaret

Moonlit cabaret

Stay with me

Till the dawn slips away

Under the moonlit cabaret
