[Verse 1]
It begins to tell 'round 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

[Verse 2]
When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you
And lately, I find
You're out of my arms and I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wings some midnight, 'round midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
'Til old midnight
'Til old midnight rolls around

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you
And lately, I find
You're out of my arms and I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wings some midnight, some midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
'Til old midnight rolls around
