In the still of the night 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 above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love
Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
(In the still of the night)
So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
(In the still of the night)
In the still of the night
The song “In the still of the night” reminds me of my father. My father was a fantastic singer. He would enjoy singing and joking around. I would purposely make him sing because I loved his voice. When I hear this song I sort of take a moment of silence to remember him.
My father passed when I was thirteen years old. He passed away due to cardiac arrest. We do not know what happened. It was very sudden and I loved him very much. He was a very fun and loving soul. He was hysterical. Jokes came so natural for him. I don’t like to get upset talking about him because I know he is in a better place. I am a strong believe in life after death and I know I will see him again.
This song makes me feel sad but at the same time I feel happy. This songs bring back so many good memories. I actually recorded him singing this song on my first cell phone and I made it his ring tone for when he called. For some reason when I go out to dinner with my boyfriend, family or when I’m going through a hard time this song magically comes on. Whether it be the radio or restaurant music. When it comes on I stop and think about him. I feel his spirit is always with me. Especially when this song comes on. When it start to play I can literally hear him singing. Which puts a smile on my face.
LOVE YOU DAD!!! R.I.P<3
