On this she had not bargained But she was like some missionary dancing to the beat of some Man's ancient drum And she tries hard Still the same old story What price glory You make it easy In the still of the night In the still of the night How still my love In the still of the night How still Whoa, are the children, are they hopelessly enchanted?Īre the children, are they hopelessly enchanted?īlame it on my wild heart (Baby, baby, baby, baby) There is a reason why even the angels don't give it up at all That's where I needed you (Where I needed you) Well, believe it then, and don't blame it on my soul

All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, as was he. Don and I had been going out for quite awhile, and, bless his heart, he did sing it with me, and again, as fate would have it, it became one of the most special love songs that I would ever write… and remains that, even today, after all these years.
