It’s a nice evening for a walk, you say
I agree
City lights sparkle in your eyes
It is hard to imagine you looking more beautiful
Then you smile
I say nothing
I doubt you would hear anything over my heartbeat
I smile back
You take my arm and pull me close
I dream of ways to freeze time
I want to walk this way forever
The sidewalk is a stream of walkers
But I don’t see them
We stop for dinner and sit outside
The food doesn’t matter
We chat about nothing
I am captivated
You feel like getting ice cream
I know a place
Ice cream drips on my shoe as we walk
You laugh
We stop and look at the water
Neither in a hurry
Hand in hand
You were right
It is a nice evening
In 2017 I recorded an album of original jazz songs called My Kind Of Jazz. It was a dream of mine since I was a teen taking guitar lessons. I recorded it on my laptop and played all the instruments. This song is called Nice Evening. I pictured a couple on a date when I wrote it.
You can find the album on all the music platforms. Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, etc.
