Lyrics of
Walkin' After Midnight

Walking After Midnight was originally penned for Patsy Cline by songwriters Alan Block and Don Hecht. Legend has it that Cline was not overly enthusiastic about the song at first, but after her performance on Arthur Godfreys Talent Scouts in 1957, it became a smash hit, cementing Patsy Clines status as one of the finest female vocalists in country music. The song details the solitary journey of one walking at night, musing over their lost love an ... d hoping for reunion. See more [+]

I go out walking after midnight
out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of saying I love you
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds will whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight out in the starlight
Just hoping maybe you're somewhere walking after midnight searching for me
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
 C G key change
I'm out walking after midnight out in the starlight
Just hoping maybe you're somewhere walking after midnight searching for me
