Lyrics
Verse
I packed my dreams in a suitcase tight,
Caught a whisper of moonlight flight,
The stars winked down, "You're on your way,"
To a place where hearts never stray.
Chorus
It's a ticket to paradise, oh, so sweet,
Where the rhythm of love and the melody meet,
The brass sings sharp, the bass walks low,
Darling, take my hand, let’s go, let’s go.
Verse 2
A saxophone croons as the night turns gold,
Telling tales of a love that's bold,
With every note, my heart takes wing,
Oh, this is the song we were meant to sing.
Prechorus
The trumpets call, the drums reply,
Underneath that velvet sky.
Chorus
It's a ticket to paradise, oh, so sweet,
Where the rhythm of love and the melody meet,
The brass sings sharp, the bass walks low,
Darling, take my hand, let’s go, let’s go.
Bridge
The band plays soft, then swells again,
Like waves that kiss a sandy plain,
Each note a promise, each chord a vow,
This is forever, and the time is now.
