My daughter Amanda was named after this song, Her father loved the lyrics, and she was the light of his life.





Amanda



I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried,

But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life,

To look in the mirror in total surprise.

At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.



Amanda, light of my life.

Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

Amanda, light of my life.

Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.



It's a measure of people who don't understand,

The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.

I got my first guitar when I was fourteen,

Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans.



Amanda, light of my life.

Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

Amanda, light of my life.

Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

My first husband and I danced to this song every chance we got. And he always played it on the guitar for me. I would swoon everytime lol. I just happened to find it again. Listening to it brought back so many good memories. I thought Id share. the song is on my playlist on my profile if you would like to listen.







In the heart of the night

In the cool southern rain

There's a full moon in sight

Shinin' down on the Pontchartrain

And the river she rises

Just like she used to do

She's so full of surprises

She reminds me of you



Chorus:



In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

In the heart of the night

Oh, down in New Orleans



There's a nightbird singing

Right on through till the dawn

And the streets are still ringing

With people carrying on

It's been so long waiting

Just to be here again

Anticipating

All the time I could spend



(Chorus)



And I trust in your love

Never fallin' down

And I trust in your love

Just like I do in this town

Oh, never fallin' down

Oh, never fallin' down



(Saxophone solo)



In the heart of the night

In the cool fallin' rain

There's a full moon in sight

Shinin' down on the Pontchartrain

And the river she rises

Just like she used to do

She's so full of surprises (oh mama)

She reminds me of you (right here)



(Chorus)



And I'm so glad to be back in New Orleans

Please don't wake me, don't shake me

If it's only, if it's only just a dream

Cause it's the only place that I can face

It makes me feel so right

Below that Dixie moon and lovin' you

In the heart of the night

I have loved this song since the first time I ever heard it and felt that it says it all.





The Circle Of Life



From the day we arrive on the planet and blinking step in to the sun



There's more to see than can be ever be seen more to do than can ever be done.



There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found



But the sun rolling high

throught the sapphire sky

keeps creatures great and small on the endless round



It's the circle of life

and it moves us all

Through despair and hope

through faith and love



Till we find our place on the path unwinding



In the Circle



The Circle of Life





It's the Circle of life



And it moves us all



Through despair and hope

through faith and love



Till we find our place On the path unwinding



In the Circle



The Circle of Life.
