It begins to tell `round
midnight, `round midnight.
I do pretty well till after
sun-down, suppertime I'm feeling bad
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 had need
mending, does it mean that our love is endng?
Darling, I need you, lately I
find you're out of my arms and 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.
