'Round Midnight
Midnight Melancholy: Unveiling Love's Secrets Through Time
Lyrics
It begins to tell,
Commencement of a narrative or expression.
'round midnight, midnight.
Repetition for emphasis, specifying the time as midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Expressing coping or doing well until the evening.
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
Feeling melancholic during suppertime.
But it really gets bad,
Intensification of sadness or emotional distress.
'round midnight.
Reiteration of the challenging emotional state around midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Memories resurface during the midnight hours.
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
Difficulty facing and handling poignant memories.
When my heart is still with you,
Expressing emotional attachment despite physical separation.
And ol' midnight knows it, too.
Personifying midnight as an observer aware of emotional struggles.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Acknowledging a need for reconciliation after a disagreement.
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Pondering if conflicts signal the end of a relationship.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
Expressing a current longing and dependency on the partner.
You're out of my heart,
Noting the partner's absence from the speaker's heart.
And I'm out of my mind.
Describing emotional turmoil and confusion.
Let our hearts take wings'
Invoking a metaphor of romantic freedom and unity.
'round midnight, midnight
Repetition of midnight as a significant time.
Let the angels sing,
Invoking celestial imagery for a hopeful return of the loved one.
for your returning.
Anticipation of a joyful reunion.
Till our love is safe and sound.
Expressing a desire for the safety and stability of love.
And old midnight comes around.
Reiteration of midnight's association with emotions.
Feelin' sad,
Reiteration of feeling sad, emphasizing emotional state.
really gets bad
Intensification of the emotional struggle.
Round, Round, Round Midnight
Concluding with a final emphasis on the midnight theme.
