'Round Midnight
Midnight Melodies: Love's Echo in the Silence
Lyrics
It begins to turn
The emotional shift begins.
'Round midnight, midnight
Emphasizing the timeframe of midnight.
I do pretty well, 'til after sundown
Coping well until the evening.
Suppertime, I'm feelin' sad
Feeling melancholic during suppertime.
But it really gets bad
The sadness intensifies.
'Round midnight
Reiteration of the emotional impact of midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight, midnight
Memories resurface during midnight.
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
Difficulty facing and dealing with those memories.
When my heart is still with you
Expressing lingering feelings for a past love.
And old midnight knows it too
Suggesting midnight understands the emotional state.
When a quarrel we had needs mending, ooh, ooh
Referencing a need for reconciliation after a quarrel.
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Questioning the status of the relationship.
Darlin', I need you, lately I find
Expressing the current need for the partner.
You're out of my heart
Feeling emotionally disconnected.
And I'm out of my mind (out of my mind)
Experiencing emotional turmoil.
Let our hearts take wings
Wishing for a renewal of love.
'Round midnight, midnight
Connecting the theme with midnight.
Let the angels sing
Seeking divine intervention for reunion.
For your returning
Hopeful for the partner's return.
'Til our heart is safe and sound
Desiring a secure and sound heart.
And old midnight
Reiteration of midnight's impact on emotions.
And old midnight
-And old midnight comes around
-Mmm
Repetition emphasizing the persistence of midnight.
Comes around
-Comes around
-Comes around
-Comes around
-Comes around
-Comes around
-Comes around (hey, hey)
-Comes around (come on, baby)
-Comes around (come on, baby)
-Comes around (you know, baby)
-Comes around (you know, baby)
-Comes around (you know, baby)
-Hey, said it gets so bad, baby
-Yeah
-Ooh
-And oh, ooh, midnight comes around
Final mention of the profound effect of midnight.
