'Round Midnight

Music by Cootie williams and Thelonious Monk

Words by Bernie Hanighen

It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight

I do pretty well till after sundown

Supper time, I'm feeling sad

But it's really gets bad 'round midnight

Mem'ries always start 'round midnight, 'round midnight

Haven't got the heart to stand those mem'ries

when my heart is still with you and old midnight knows it too

When some quarrel we had need mending

Does mean that our love is ending?

Darling, I need you; 

Lately I find you're out of my arms and I'm out of my mind

Let our love take wing some midnight, 'round midnight

Let our angels sing for your returning

Let our love be safe and sound, when old midnight comes around.
