Heart Of The Night Lyrics

Heart Of The Night

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
