In the heart of the night
In the cool southern rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shining down on the Ponchartrain
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
Down in New Orleans
There's a nightbird singin'
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
Down in New Orleans
And I trust in your love never fallin' down
And I trust in your love just like I do in this time
Never fallin'down, never fallin'down
In the heart of the night
In the cool southern rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shining down on the Ponchartrain
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
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
It's the only place that I can face
That makes me feel so right
Below that Dixie moon
And loving you
In the heart of the night
