Right Time Of The Night Lyrics
Quarter moon walking through the Milky Way
Oh, you and me, baby
We could think of something to do
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
No use talking when the shadows fall
Nightbird's calling and he says it all
Oh, you and me, baby
We could think of something to do
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
I got you and you got me
Tell you, that's the way my mama always said it should be
I'll be cruel, you'll be kind
We'll be bad, if you don't mind
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
About
Right Time of the Night was the lead single from Jennifer Warnes‘ 1976 self-titled album.
According to songwriter Peter McCann, the inspiration for the song was when:
“I was out at the beach at Malibu, and it was one of those perfect sunsets. I was there for the entire evening, and the sun went down and the stars came out. But….and it was totally accidental — I didn’t mention the beach [or] anything like that [in the lyrics] because that would have regionalized [the song].”
At first, Jennifer wasn’t interested in recording the song, but she later agreed to do it after some convincing from producer Jim Ed Norman.
The song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, #17 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart and topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart for a week in April of 1977.
