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

Memories always start
'round midnight, '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
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my arms
I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wings
'round midnight, 'round midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
And old midnight comes around
