'Round Midnight

It begins to tell at 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 ol' midnight knows it too When some quarrel we've had needs mending Does that 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 wings 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 has come and gone Another lonely day passes by And a new day is coming 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 harbors some Let your spirit stop the fight At that time 'round midnight Every day's gonna bring some sadness Every day's 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 the day And you'll know when you've been unhappy Fears done chased away just mighty night have the 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
