In The Heat Of The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Blossoms fall like rain under a sleepless moon
Amber fireflies dance across the shore
Helping her to keep her hopes alive
All those tiny sparks of flame
But in the heat of the night her blood runs cold
Can she survive?
And in the heat of the night she longs to feel his touch
Her mind is reeling and she can feel the earth revolving
In the heat of the night she needs him oh so much
Many miles away
Under a starlit sky
He's lying all alone
Waiting for the dawn
But in the heat of the night his blood runs cold
Can he survive?
And in the heat of the night he's burning for her touch
How could he let it slip right thru his fingers
When in the heat of the night he needs her oh so much
Come to me now
Please take my hand
Look in my heart and you'll find someone forever true
You know our love is alive
Waiting for you
It's shining a light on the path that leads me back to you
But in the heat of the night her blood runs cold
Can she survive?
And in the heat of the night she's burning for his touch
How could she let it slip right thru her fingers
When in the heat of the night she needs him oh so much
But in the heat of the night
(how could he ever feel so lonely)
His blood runs cold
(he's dreaming all his life for this love to come along)
Can he survive?
And in the heat of the night
(and now it's falling apart around him)
He longs to feel her touch
(how could he get it oh so wrong)
His mind is reeling and he can feel the earth revolving
When in the heat of the night he needs her oh so much
