It begins to tell 
'Round midnight, 'round midnight; 
I do pretty well 
'Til after sundown; 
Supper time, I'm feelin' sad 
But it really gets bad 
'Round midnight 

Mem'ries 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. 

When some quarrel we've had needs mending 
Does that mean that our love is ending? 
Darling, I need you; 
Lately I find 
You're out of my arms 
And I'm out of my mind. 

Let our hearts take wing 
'Round midnight, 'round midnight; 
Let the angels sing 
For your returning; 
Let our love be safe and sound 
'Til old midnight 
Comes around
