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 a 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 heart
And 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
When old midnight comes around
