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 'til 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, oh, oh

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

'Cause it's the only place I can face that makes me feel so right

Below that Dixie moon and loving you

In the heart of the night
