Chorus / Description : The song In the Still of the Night by Candi Staton is not explicitly biblical in nature. It is a love song about the intimacy and passion experienced during the night, with a focus on the power of a woman to satisfy her man.
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
When I make you mine
In the still of the night
Your love is right on time
In the still, oo-ooh
In the still
In the still of the night, mmm-hmm
In the still of the night
That's when you whisper sweet n' low
In the still of the night
I never wanna let you go
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
In the still, oo-ooh
In the still
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
When everything is right
I give in without a fight (oo-oh, oo-oh, oo-ooh)
Before the break of day
When I get you coming my way
When everything is right
What can I say
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I get you next to me
In the still of the night
Ooh it's your ecstasy, uh huh
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
Just before the sunrise
It's when I realize
My power as a woman to satisfy my man
So good
It's when I'm understood
After midnight, the time, the time is right
In the still of the night (Ooh)
In the still of the night (Ooh-ooh)
In the still
In the still
In the still of the night
In the still
Oh-oh, in the still
In the still of the night
Just before the break of day (just before, just before, just before)
Just before the break of day
Ooh, just before the break of day (just before, just before, just before)
I get you coming my way (coming my way)
Ooh-oo
If there's a better a time
I don't know it
If you see another way, baby
You've got to show me
Well, in the still of the night, mmm-mmm
