In the Still of the Night Song Lyrics
In the still of the night
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
I remember
That night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love
Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
(In the still of the night)
So before the light
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
