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
Bridge
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
