In the heart of the nightIn the cool southern rainThere's a full moon in
sightShinin' down on the PontchartrainAnd the river she risesJust
like she used to doShe's so full of surprisesShe reminds me of
youChorus:In the heart of the nightIn the heart of the
nightIn the heart of the nightOh, down in New OrleansThere's a
nightbird singingRight on through till the dawnAnd the streets are
still ringingWith people carrying onIt's been so long waitingJust
to be here againAnticipatingAll the time I could
spend(Chorus)And I trust in your loveNever fallin'
downAnd I trust in your loveJust like I do in this townOh, never
fallin' downOh, never fallin' down(Saxophone solo)In the
heart of the nightIn the cool fallin' rainThere's a full moon in
sightShinin' down on the PontchartrainAnd the river she risesJust
like she used to doShe's so full of surprises (oh mama)She reminds me
of you (right here)(Chorus)And I'm so glad to be back in New
OrleansPlease don't wake me, don't shake meIf it's only, if it's only
just a dreamCause it's the only place that I can faceIt makes me feel
so rightBelow that Dixie moon and lovin' youIn the heart of the night
