As you brush your shoes
Stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair
Grab your coat and hat
And you walk, wet streets
Tryin' to remember
All the wild night breezes
In your mem'ry ever
And ev'rything looks so complete
When you're walkin' out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
Sends you flyin', cryin'
Wild night is calling, alright
Wild night is calling
And all the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie
On the corner of the street
And the people, passin' by
Stare in wild wonder
And the inside juke-box
Roars out just like thunder
And ev'rything looks so complete
When you walk out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flyin', cryin'
Wild night is calling
Alright
Wild night is calling, alright
The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Whoa, come on out and make romance
Yes, indeed
Come on out and dance
Come on out, make romance
The wild night is calling, alright
The wild night is calling
Come on out an dance
Yeah, come on out 'n make romance
Come on out and dance, alright
Come on out, n' make romance.

Thank you for the great, great tune. Van Morrison has been one of my very favorites always, going back to Them. If Wild Night doesn't lift you and make you dance in your chair, you probably don't have a pulse.

Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed and sad. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: vanmorrison0012@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.

I think you've said it all. More of us should apply this standard when we view any art. It puts pure appreciation above any other criteria. I bought this album when it came out and still can put it on and listen to the whole thing as one piece. If this had been the only thing that Mr. Morrison had done in his career he would still have gone down as a legend. In my book anyway.

Hey Man, I like Johnny Cougar as much as the next guy, but you must have been really off for 22 years. John may be something special, but he isn't even in the same Galaxy as Van the Man. In fact, it's only a very select few that should even be on the same plane with him (plane in a geometrical sense).

Beautiful song. I went to grammar school, Stonehurst in Oakland with Walter Hawkins. We had a music class where we learned to sing a lot of songs together. Walter sat next to me in class. I love to sing and I can sing. Walter went on with his singing career, Praise the Lord. I went on to work with my Dad, Val at the Oakland Zoo with the Elephant Show, and I became a Animal Specialist. I sure miss Walter, may Our Dear Lord Bless him real good, and his family. And thank you Hawkins Family for all the great Psalm songs and music.
