Heart Of The Night Lyrics

 (Paul Cotton)

 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
