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 old midnight knows it too

When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Does that mean that our love is ending
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind

Let our love take wing 'round midnight, 'round midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
