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 
Like she used to do 
She's so full of surprises 
She reminds me of you 
In the heart of the night 

There's a nightbird 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 down in New Orleans 
In the heart of the night down in New Orleans 

And I trust in your love never falling down 
And I trust in your love 
Just like I do in this town never falling down 

And I'm so glad to be back in New Orleans 
Please don't wake me, don't shake me, 
If this is 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
