The Night That Monk Returned To Heaven Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

The night that Monk returned to heaven 

Climbed every step and stood on seven 

He hummed "Epistrophy" 

The light of angels shone above him 

They mentioned God would surely love him... 

To play "My dear, Ruby" 

So Monk 

Pure Monk 

Sat down and played a chorus 

And God said, "Monk...the door is open to my house
