Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
When some quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you
Lately I find
You're out of my arms
I'm out of my mind
[Outro]
Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes 'round
