'Round Midnight
Midnight Melodies: Love, Loss, and the Jazz of Emotion
Lyrics
It begins to tell
It starts to reveal or express something
'Round midnight, midnight
During the midnight hours
I do pretty well, till after sundown
I manage well until after sunset
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
During suppertime, a feeling of sadness sets in
But it really gets bad
The sadness intensifies
'Round midnight
During the midnight hours
Memories always start 'round midnight
Recollections and memories typically arise around midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
It's emotionally challenging to confront those memories
When my heart is still with you
Even when my heart is still attached to you
And ol' midnight knows it, too
Midnight is aware of the lingering emotions
When a quarrel we had needs mending
When there's a disagreement that needs resolution
Does it mean that our love is ending
Questioning if the discord signifies the end of love
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
Expressing a need for the beloved, discovering the absence
You're out of my heart
You are no longer in my heart
And I'm out of my mind
I am losing my sanity
Let our hearts take wings'
Let our emotions soar
'Round midnight, midnight
During the midnight hours
Let the angels sing
May angels sing for your return
For your returning
Anticipating the safe return of love
Till our love is safe and sound
Until our love is secure and undisturbed
And old midnight comes around
When midnight arrives
Feelin' sad
Feeling sorrowful
Really gets bad
The sadness intensifies
Round, Round, Round Midnight
Repetition emphasizing the midnight theme
