The Heart Of The Night

(album: Friends & Family - 2023)

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
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 whoa, down in New Orleans

I trust in your love
Never falling down
I trust in your love
Just like I do in this town
Never falling down
Oh, never falling down

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 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
