In the Still of the Night Lyrics

Shoo doop dooby doo
Woo ooo ooo
Shoo doop dooby doo
Oooooo
Shoo doop dooby doo
Ooooo oooo
Shoo doop dooby doo

In the still (shoo doop dooby doo) of the night (shoo doop dooby doo)
I held you (shoo doop dooby doo) held you tight (shoo doop dooby doo)
Cause I (shoo doop dooby doo) really love you (shoo doop dooby doo)
Promise I'll never (shoo doop dooby doo) let you go (shoo doop dooby doo)
In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

I remember (I remember) that night in May (I remember)
The stars were bright (I remember) above (I remember)
I'll hope (I remember) and I'll pray (I remember)
To keep your precious love

Well before (shoo doop shooby doo) the dawn's light (shoo doop shooby doo)
Hold me again (shoo doop shooby doo) with all of your might (shoo doop
shooby doo)
In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

I remember (I remember) that night in May (I remember)
The stars were bright (I remember) above (I remember)
I'll hope (I remember) and I'll pray (I remember)
To keep your precious love

Well before (shoo doop shooby doo) the dawn's light (shoo doop shooby doo)
Hold me again (shoo doop shooby doo) with all of your might (shoo doop
shooby doo)
In the still of the night (in the still of the night)
In the still of the night

Shoo doop shooby doo
Wooo ooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Ooooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Oooo oooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
In the still of the night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for In the Still of the Night lyrics by Beach Boys, The

by The Swing King

19y ago

Dennis Wilson never got much of a chance to sing lead and this song shows why. This is one of the greatest doo-wop/oldies hits of all time and he just makes it sound so bad. There is nothing sweet, or smooth in Dennis' voice. Go find the original by the Five Satins or a version that sounds just like it, and leave this one to gather dust.
