The phrase and idea for the hook has been looming around in my head. I finally decided it should be made into a rock song.
Lyrics
I can’t see you in the morning
I’m wide-awake you’re still in bed
The early sun burns without warning
I’m all alone to face the day
The summer days seem so long
But I gotta keep holding on
Tonight I’m gonna be with you
The thought of that is getting me through all this
In the heat of night
It’ll all be all right
So just hold me tight
Baby ya
Afternoon seems never-ending
Feels like time is mocking me
But I know where the day is heading
Seven o’clock will set me free
Another day is almost through
The sun is making way for the moon
Evening time is drawing near
Baby, I’m outta here yeah yeah
(chorus and repeat)
I get in the car
Drive seems so far
Streets like a maze
I’m on my way
Anticipate
Your love can’t wait
Am I obsessed?
Forget about it
And you’re all I think about.
There’s an angel at my doorway
And she don’t have to make a sound…
(chorus and repeat)
In the heat of night
It’ll all be all right
So just hold me tight
In the Heat of the Night
