* 2x

 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

 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

Oh, down in New Orleans

 There's a night bird 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

 In the heart of the night

 In the heart of the night

Oh, 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, oh, never falling down

oh, never falling down

* 2x

 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

 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

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 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
