It begins to tell,
'round midnight, 'round midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime i'm feelin' 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 ol' midnight knows it, too.
When some quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Darlin' i need you, lately i find
You're out of my arms,
I'm out of my mind.
Let our love take wings'
'round midnight, 'round midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.
Let our love be safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
