It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight;
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Supper time, I'm feelin' sad,
But it really gets bad 'round midnight.
Mem'ries always start 'round midnight, 'round midnight;
Haven't got the heart to stand those mem'ries;
When my heart is still with you,
And old 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 wing some midnight, 'round midnight;
Let the angels sing for your returning;
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around.
