Midnight on the Bayou

My heart has but one dream
Inside of me
It seems
To feel
The warm breeze
Cover me

Every star glow
Reflecting
On the water
A new wish
To be named
On this Louisiana night

When it's midnight on the bayou
Dear, I'm calling you
To come with me
Where the rolling waters dip
The moonlight rolling in
With the tide
Pray someday, make this girl
Your bride

In the soft embrace
Of the willows' vine
Say your heart
It will be mine
Say you'll be true
When it's midnight on the bayou

(Instrumental Break)

When it's midnight on the bayou
Dear, I'm calling you
To come with me
Where the rolling waters dip
The moonlight rolling in
With the tide
Pray someday, make this girl
Your bride

In the soft embrace
Of the willows' vine
Say your heart
It will be mine
Say you'll be true
When it's midnight on the bayou
