'Round Midnight
Midnight Melodies: Embracing Love and Loss
Lyrics
It begins to tell,
Introduction to the theme, the narrative begins.
'round midnight, midnight.
Repetition of the setting, emphasizing the significance of midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Expressing coping until sundown, hinting at emotional struggles after.
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
Feeling melancholic during suppertime, a specific time of day.
But it really gets bad,
Introducing a worsening emotional state as the night progresses.
'round midnight.
Reiterating the impact of midnight on emotions.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Memories resurface, particularly during the midnight hours.
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
Difficulty facing and dealing with nostalgic memories.
When my heart is still with you,
Heart still yearning for a past love.
And ol' midnight knows it, too.
Personifying midnight as aware of the lingering emotions.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Acknowledging a need for reconciliation after a disagreement.
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Raising the question of whether the disagreement signals the end of love.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
Expressing a current longing for the person despite recent challenges.
You're out of my heart,
Noting the absence of the person from the heart.
And I'm out of my mind.
Conveying a sense of losing control over thoughts and emotions.
Let our hearts take wings'
Invoking imagery of freedom and flight for the hearts.
'round midnight, midnight
Reiteration of the significance of midnight in this wishful context.
Let the angels sing,
Invoking celestial beings to celebrate the hoped-for return.
for your returning.
Desiring a safe and sound return of love.
Till our love is safe and sound.
Expressing a longing for the resolution and security of love.
And old midnight comes around.
Midnight is mentioned again in connection with these feelings.
Feelin' sad,
Reiteration of feeling sad, emphasizing the emotional impact.
really gets bad
Highlighting the intensification of emotions, particularly the negative ones.
Round, Round, Round Midnight
Repetition of midnight, possibly concluding the emotional journey described.
