'Round Midnight - Remastered 2001

It begins to tell at midnight, 'round midnight

I do pretty well 'til 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 heart, and I'm out of my mind

Let our love take wings at midnight, 'round midnight

Let the angels sing of your returning

Let our love be safe and sound

When old midnight comes around

A pale and lonely moon lights the sky in the dark

Before the dawn

I sit here in my room

How I sigh for the day that's come and gone

Another lonely day passes by

And a new day's coming on

At midnight

Tears I've shed today

Will pause, waiting until tomorrow

Dreams of what could become close to me

Timidly

There's a brand-new day in sight

At that time 'round midnight

Life's a game of chance

And you're one of the minor players

Look for what you love

The day to come harbors some

Let your spirit stop the fight

At that time 'round midnight

Every day's gonna bring some sadness

Every day's gonna bring some gladness

So take what you can of the glad times

Don't measure your pleasure in nickels and dimes

You better look back on the day, yeah

And you'll know when you've been unhappy

Tears done chased away, just might at night have the day

Let your eyes put out their light

At that time, 'round midnight

I'll think no more about today

For in a while, this old day will be yesterday

Alone at midnight, here in my room

I sit here in the gloom

And let my dreams take flight

'Round 'bout midnight
