'Round Midnight
Embracing Midnight's Melancholy: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale
Lyrics
It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight
Introduction of a narrative that unfolds around midnight.
I do pretty well till after sundown
The speaker copes well until evening, but struggles later.
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
Feeling melancholic during suppertime.
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
The emotional state worsens significantly around midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Recollections and memories resurface, typically starting at midnight.
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
The speaker cannot bear to confront these memories.
When my heart is still with you
Expressing that the speaker's heart still belongs to someone else.
And old midnight knows it too
Personifying midnight as being aware of the speaker's emotions.
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Addressing a quarrel that requires resolution.
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Pondering whether the disagreement signifies the end of love.
Darlin', I need you lately I find
Expressing a recent need for the person in question.
You're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind
Feeling emotionally distressed as the person is no longer in the speaker's heart.
Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight
Invoking the idea of emotional freedom and flight at midnight.
Let the angels sing for your returning
Seeking a positive outcome, with angels singing for the person's return.
Till our love is safe and sound
Expressing a desire for the love to be secure and stable.
And old midnight comes around
Reiteration of midnight's influence on emotions.
'Round, 'round, 'round midnight
Concluding with a repetition of the theme of midnight's impact on emotions.
