'Round Midnight - Live

Up here and lonely moon lights the sky in the dawn 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 is 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 the 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, all but some
Let your eyes put on the lights
At the time 'round midnight

Every day's gonna bring some gladness
E-e-every day's gonna bring some sadness
So take what you can of the glad times
Don't measure your pleasure in nickles and dimes
Look back on today
And you'll know when you do not have it

Fears don't chaste away
Just my eye at night have their day
Let your spirit start the fight
At the time 'round midnight

I'll have no more about today
For in a while, this whole day will be yesterday
Alone, I sit here in my room
I sit here in the gloom
And let my dreams take flight 'round 'bout midnight

Thank you very much
