Maggie Reilly - In The Heat Of The Night lyrics

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
