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.
