Dreams Found at Last

[Verse] I roamed the bayou nights beneath the southern moon, Searching for my heart with the sway of a brass tune, Swamps and dreams did meld, in that sultry summer glow, Where the trumpet's call and the river's flow did show. [Verse 2] I danced with shadows, sang with ghosts by creole fire, Every step and every note was burning pure desire, Cajun bands in smoky rooms, played the nights on cue, But it was your sweet face that brought my dreams in view. [Chorus] Long and winding was the road I took, through delta's sigh, Hoping for a sign, a face beneath the sky, Years of lonely ballads, blues so deep and fast, But here you are, the dream I've captured at last. [Verse 3] Through fields of sugarcane and streets with voodoo names, Saxophones and trombones sang seduction's games, A kiss beneath the Spanish moss, my heart beat wild and free, As though New Orleans herself had whispered destiny. [Bridge] Oh, the nights, they were long, With the croon of soulful song, Jazzmen played on every corner, drawing me along, To a love, pure and true, I never knew I'd find in you. [Chorus] Long and winding was the road I took, through delta's sigh, Hoping for a sign, a face beneath the sky, Years of lonely ballads, blues so deep and fast, But here you are, the dream I've captured at last.
