In the Still of the Night - Lyrics - Jan And Dean
Jan and Dean were an American rock and roll duo, popular from the late 1950s through the mid 1960s, consisting of William Jan Berry and Dean Ormsby Torrence . They were pioneers of the vocal "surf music" craze that was popularized by The Beach Boys. Among their most successful songs was "Surf City", which topped both the Billboard and Cashbox music charts in June 1963; "Drag City", which was a No. 10 hit on both the Billboard and Cashbox charts in 1963; and their song "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena", which peaked at No. 3. "Dead Man's Curve", which reached No. 8 on the Billboard charts in 1964, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008.

In the still of the night
Darlin' 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
I remember that night in May
The stars were bright up above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love
Before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
(Spoken by Davy Jones of the Monkees)
"I know you're gonna think its really funny
For me to be singing like this
But I've never sung before
And I felt the best way to tell you the way I feel
Is in a song
Because I've been told that songs really are univeral
And really, what I really want to tell you
It's not a song
It's that I wanna tell you that I love you
And I think we can spend our lives together
And if we both try I think we'll be able to make it
Because I really love you"
Before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
