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 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
Oh 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
Oh never falling down, oh never falling down

In 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 here

In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
Ohh 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 that I can face, it makes me feel so right
Below that Dixie moon and loving you in the heart of night
