LYRICS
[Verse 1]
First time I saw you walk in
Just another singer with a mischievous grin
Ordered scotch, straight up, no ice
Said you'd trade a song for your tab that night
Remember how the regulars complained
Till that voice of yours began to reign
And suddenly the whole room fell so still
Like time itself had stopped until

[Chorus]
Every night at closing time
You'd sing one more for the road
That velvet smooth charm of yours
Made this old bar feel like home
And even now I catch myself
Polishing these same old glasses slow
Waiting for you to walk back in
And sing one more for the road

[Verse 2]
Years went by, the crowds grew fast
Vegas learned your name at last
But you'd still show up here now and then
Order scotch and sing to us again
Come around to make us laugh
Holding court right at my bar
Those nights pure magic filled the air
Like nothing else could ever compare

[Chorus]
Every night at closing time
You'd sing one more for the road
That velvet smooth charm of yours
Made this old bar feel like home
And even now I catch myself
Polishing these same old glasses slow
Waiting for you to walk back in
And sing one more for the road

[Bridge]
The world's different now
New voices, different sounds
But they don't make 'em like you anymore
When I turn these lights down

[Final Verse]
Tonight I'll pour two glasses neat
One for me and one for memories
Of the smoothest crooner I've ever known
Who made this humble bar his throne
And though you're gone, I swear sometimes
When I'm alone at closing time
I hear you singing soft and low
One last song before you go

[Chorus]
Every night at closing time
You'd sing one more for the road
That velvet smooth charm of yours
Made this old bar feel like home
And even now I catch myself
Polishing these same old glasses slow
Waiting for you to walk back in
And sing one more for the road
