In the heart of the night
In the cool fallin' rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shinin' 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
Down in New Orleans
There's a nightbird singin'
Right on through to the dawn
And the streets are still ringin'
People carryin' on
It's been so long waitin'
Just to be here again
Anticipatin'
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
Trust in your love
Never fallin' down
Trust in your love
Just like I do in this town
Never fallin' down
Oh, never fallin' down
In the heart of the night
In the cool southern rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shinin' 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
Whoa, whoa, down in New Orleans
Down on the Pontchartrain
Oh, the river, she rises
Just like she, just like she
Just like she used to do
