'Round Midnight
Midnight Melodies: Love, Longing, and Memories Unveiled
Lyrics
It begins to tell
Commencement of a story or expression
'Round midnight, midnight
Referring to the time 'Round midnight
I do pretty well, till after sundown
Managing well until after sundown
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
Feeling melancholy during suppertime
But it really gets bad
Intensity of sadness increases
'Round midnight
Reiteration of emotional state 'Round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
Memories resurface during midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
Unable to confront painful memories
When my heart is still with you
Heart still connected to someone
And ol' midnight knows it, too
Midnight symbolically understands the lingering love
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Addressing a needed reconciliation after a quarrel
Does it mean that our love is ending
Questioning if a quarrel implies the end of love
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
Expressing a recent need for the person
You're out of my heart
Not feeling the person in the heart
And I'm out of my mind
Experiencing emotional distress
Let our hearts take wings'
Suggesting a liberated emotional state
'Round midnight, midnight
Reiteration of time 'Round midnight
Let the angels sing
Invoking angels for a positive outcome
For your returning
Hoping for the person's return
Till our love is safe and sound
Desiring a safe and secure love
And old midnight comes around
Anticipation of midnight's recurrence
Feelin' sad
Reiteration of feeling sad
Really gets bad
Emphasizing the intensity of sadness
Round, Round, Round Midnight
Final repetition of emotional state 'Round midnight
