'round Midnight Lyrics

It begins to tell,
'Round midnight, 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.
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 heart,
And I'm out of my mind.

Let our hearts take wings,
'Round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.
Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Feelin' sad,
Really gets bad
Round, Round, Round Midnight

Verses by Jon Hendricks on the album Carmen Sings Monk

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 harbours 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 dines

You better look back on the day
And you'll know when you've been unhappy
Fears don't chased away just mighty might 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
