In the heart of the night In the cool southern rain There's a full moon in
sight Shinin' down on the Pontchartrain And the river she rises Just
like she used to do She's so full of surprises She reminds me of
you
Chorus:
In the heart of the night In the heart of the
night In the heart of the night Oh, down in New Orleans
There's a
nightbird singing Right on through till the dawn And the streets are
still ringing With people carrying on It's been so long waiting Just
to be here again Anticipating All the time I could
spend
(Chorus)
And I trust in your love Never fallin'
down And I trust in your love Just like I do in this town Oh, never
fallin' down Oh, never fallin' down
(Saxophone solo)
In the
heart of the night In the cool fallin' rain There's a full moon in
sight Shinin' down on the Pontchartrain And the river she rises Just
like she used to do She's so full of surprises (oh mama) She reminds me
of you (right here)
(Chorus)
And I'm so glad to be back in New
Orleans Please don't wake me, don't shake me If it's only, if it's only
just a dream Cause it's the only place that I can face It makes me feel
so right Below that Dixie moon and lovin' you In the heart of the night
