'Round Midnight
Midnight Melancholy: Love's Bittersweet Dance in Sarah Vaughan's 'Round Midnight
Lyrics
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
At suppertime, I start feeling sorrowful.
Then it really gets bad
My sadness intensifies.
Memories always start after sundown
Recollections and memories typically emerge after the sun sets.
It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight
The story or emotional weight begins to unfold around midnight.
I do pretty well till after sundown
I manage fairly well until after the sun goes down.
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
During suppertime, I experience sadness.
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
However, my feelings worsen significantly around midnight.
It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight
The emotional narrative continues to evolve around midnight.
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
I lack the emotional strength to confront those memories.
When my heart is still with you
My heart remains connected to you.
And old midnight knows it too
Even midnight is aware of my lingering emotions for you.
When some a quarrel we had needs mending
When there's a dispute that needs resolving,
Does it mean that our love is ending?
I wonder if it signifies the potential end of our love.
Darlin', I need you lately I find
I've been longing for you recently.
You're out of my arms and I'm out of my mind
You're not in my arms, and I feel mentally unsettled.
Let our love take wings at midnight, 'round midnight
Let our love take flight around midnight.
Let the angels sing for your returning
May angels herald your return.
Till our love is safe and sound
Until our love is secure and stable.
When old midnight comes around
When midnight arrives,
Just let love take wings
Let love soar.
And let the angels sing your returning
May angels celebrate your return.
Please let our love is safe and sound
Please ensure our love is secure and stable.
When old midnight comes around
When midnight arrives.
Midnight
Midnight.
