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?)
