In the still of the night

I-I held you, held you tight

'cause I love, love you so

Promise I'll never let you go

In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

CHORUS

I remember (I remember) that night in May (I remember)

The stars (I remember) were bright a-a-bo-o-o-ove (I remember)

I'll hope (I remember) and I'll pray (I remember)

To keep <2 piano notes> your presh <2 piano notes> shus lo-o-o-o-o-ove

Well before the li-ight

Hold me again

With all of your might

In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

So before the li-ight

Hold me again

With all of your might

In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

In the still of the night.
