Maggie Reilly

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 through his fingers

When in the heat of the night

He needs her oh so much

Come to me now

(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 through her fingers

When in the heat of the night

She needs him oh so much

But in the heat of the night

His blood runs cold, can he survive?

(How could he ever feel so lonely?)

And in the heat of the night

He longs to feel her touch

(He's dreaming all his life for this love to come along)

His mind is reeling

And he can feel the earth revolving

(And now it's falling apart around him)

When in the heat of the night

He needs her oh so much

(How could he get it oh so wrong?)
