Dr. John and The Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight.
Such a night
Such a night
To steal away, the time is right.
At a glance
You let me know
This was my chance.
You came here with my best friend Jim
And here I am
Trying to steal you away from him..
Oh, but If I don't do it somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
And it's such a night
Such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
It's such a night
Such a night
To steal away, the time is right.
I couldn't believe my ears
And my heart just skipped a beat
When you told me to take you walking down the street.
You came here with my best friend Jim
And here I am
Stealing you away from him.
Oh, it's such a night
that you and I together
Can make a memory that will last forever.

This morning, I stood in front of Dr. John's coffin in the Orpheum Theatre where there was a public viewing before his funeral later this afternoon. It was a dark auditorium with the casket and flowers up front, and above was a screen showing images of Dr. John's life. Mourners trickled in, stood solemnly in front of the good doctor, and paid their final respects. There were more than a few tears being shed. A few hours from now, the second line will send his spirit into the ether for eternity. Rest in Peace, Dr. John.
