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
