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 youIn the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

Oh down in New OrleansThere's a night bird singing right on through till the dawn

And the streets are still ringing with people carrying on

Oh it's been so long waiting just to be here again

Anticipating all the time I could spendIn the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the nightAnd I trust in your love never falling down

I trust in your love just like I do in this town

Oh never falling down, oh never falling downIn the heart of the night, in the cool falling 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, come on, she reminds me of you, right hereIn the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

Ohh down in New OrleansAnd 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 loving you in the heart of night
