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

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

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

Oh it ＇ s been so long waitin ＇

Just to be here again

Anticipatin ＇

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 fallin ＇ rain

There ＇ s a full moon in sight

Shinin ＇ down on the Pontchartrain

And the river she rises

Like she used to do

She ＇ s so full of surprises

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

That I can face that makes me feels so right

Below that dixie moon and loving you

In the heart of the night
