'Round Midnight - Alternative Version
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 ol' 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 some 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
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
'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 ol' 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 some 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
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
