Heart Of The Night

In the heart of the night

In the cool southern rain

There's a full moon in sight

Shining 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

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

Oh, whoa, down in New Orleans There's a night bird 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

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

And I trust in your love never falling down

I trust in your love

Just like I do in this town

Whoa, never falling down

Whoa, never falling down In the heart of the night

In the cool fallin' rain

There's a full moon in sight

Shining down on the Pontchartrain And the river she rises

Just like she used to do

She's so full of surprises

Oh, momma, she reminds me of you

Right here, in the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

Down in New Orleans 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

It's the only place I can face that feels so right

Below that Dixie moon and loving you

In the heart of the night
