In the heart of the nightnIn the cool southern rainnThere's a full moon in sightnShinin' down on the PontchartrainnAnd the river she risesnJust like she used to donShe's so full of surprisesnShe reminds me of younn[Chorus]nIn the heart of the nightnIn the heart of the nightnIn the heart of the nightnOh, down in New OrleansnnThere's a night bird singingnRight on through till the dawnnAnd the streets are still ringingnWith people carrying onnIt's been so long waitingnJust to be here againnAnticipatingnAll the time I could spendnn[Chorus]nnAnd I trust in your love nNever fallin' downnAnd I trust in your lovenJust like I do in this town nOh, never fallin' downnOh, never fallin' downnnIn the heart of the nightnIn the cool fallin' rainnThere's a full moon in sightnShinin' down on the PontchartrainnAnd the river she risesnJust like she used to donShe's so full of surprises (oh mama)nShe reminds me of you (right here)nn[Chorus]nnAnd I'm so glad to be back in New OrleansnPlease don't wake me, don't shake menIf it's only, if it's only just a dreamnCause it's the only place that I can face nIt makes me feel so rightnBelow that Dixie moon and lovin' younIn the heart of the night
