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
I 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 arms
And I'm out of my mind
Let our arms take wings'
'Round midnight, 'round midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Let our love is safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
