-- OR -- 
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
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night .. way down in New Orleans
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
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
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 ... Never falling down
Break
Verse 1 Repeat
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
