Lyrics
It begins to tell 'round midnight
'Round midnight
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Suppertime I'm feeling sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
'Round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it too
When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darling I need you
Lately I find
You're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing
Of your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
A pale and lonely moon lights the sky in the dark before the dawn
I sit here in my room, how I sigh for the day that's come and gone
Another lonely day passes by and the new day's comin' on
At midnight
Tears I've shed today will pause, waiting until tomorrow
Dreams of what could become close to me, timidly
There's a brand-new day in sight
At that time 'round midnight
Life's a game of chance, and you're one of the minor players
Look for what you love, the day to come harbours some
Let your spirits stop the fight
At that time 'round midnight
Every day is gonna bring some sadness
Every day is gonna bring some gladness
So, take what you can of the glad times
Don't measure your pleasure in nickels and dimes
You better look back on today
And you'll know when you have been unhappy
Fears done chased away just might have let them have their day
Let your eyes put out their light
At that time 'round midnight
I'll think no more about today
For in a while, this old day will be yesterday
Alone at midnight here in my room
I sit here in the gloom
And let my dreams take flight 'round 'bout midnight
'Round midnight
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Suppertime I'm feeling sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
'Round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it too
When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darling I need you
Lately I find
You're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing
Of your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
A pale and lonely moon lights the sky in the dark before the dawn
I sit here in my room, how I sigh for the day that's come and gone
Another lonely day passes by and the new day's comin' on
At midnight
Tears I've shed today will pause, waiting until tomorrow
Dreams of what could become close to me, timidly
There's a brand-new day in sight
At that time 'round midnight
Life's a game of chance, and you're one of the minor players
Look for what you love, the day to come harbours some
Let your spirits stop the fight
At that time 'round midnight
Every day is gonna bring some sadness
Every day is gonna bring some gladness
So, take what you can of the glad times
Don't measure your pleasure in nickels and dimes
You better look back on today
And you'll know when you have been unhappy
Fears done chased away just might have let them have their day
Let your eyes put out their light
At that time 'round midnight
I'll think no more about today
For in a while, this old day will be yesterday
Alone at midnight here in my room
I sit here in the gloom
And let my dreams take flight 'round 'bout midnight
