<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>
