Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It begins to tell
Round midnight
I do pretty well till after sundown
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad round midnight
[Verse 2]
Memories always start 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?
Oh, darling, I love you
Lately I find you're out of my heart
And I am out of my mind
[Verse 3]
Let our love take me round midnight
Let the angels sing of your returning
That our love is safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
Oh, around, around, around
[Verse 4]
It begins to tell round midnight
I do pretty well till after sundown
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad round midnight
[Verse 5]
Memories always start 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 our love is ending?
Darling, I love you
Lately I find you're out of my arms
And I am out of my mind
[Verse 6]
Let our love take wing round midnight
Let the angels sing of your returning
That our love is safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
When old midnight comes
Around
