"In the Still of the Night"

In the line "Promise I'll never let you go" in "In the Still of the Night," "go" is sung with a melisma (B A), musically giving a sense of its meaning.  "Might" in the line "Hold me again with all of your might" is sung with the same melisma, here giving a sense of the entirety of that "all."
