<Opening repeats in background of verses>

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)

<instrumental interlude combined with "doo-wop, doo-bah's">

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

<additional "shoo-doo, shooby-doo's" to end>

In The Still Of The Night

In the still of the night

I held you, held you tight

For I love, love you so
Promis I'll never let you go
In the still of the night.

I remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I hope and I pray
To keep your precious love

So before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night.

(bridge)

So before the light
Hold me again with all of your might

In the still of the night

IN the still of the night.
