'Round Midnight
Stan Getz Jimmy Raney Terry Gibbs Lyrics

It begins to tell, 'round midnight, midnight.
The night is just beginning, around midnight, and it sets the stage for everything that will happen next.

I do pretty well, till after sundown,
During the day, I'm generally okay, but as soon as the sun sets, I start to feel lousy.

Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
Eating dinner only adds to my sadness, which has been building since the sun went down.

But it really gets bad, 'round midnight.
Midnight is the worst for me, when my sadness is at its peak and I feel completely overwhelmed by my emotions.

Memories always start 'round midnight
Midnight is when all of my memories of you flood back into my mind and I can't stop thinking about the past.

Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
The memories are too painful for me to face, and I don't have the strength or courage to deal with them.

When my heart is still with you,
Even though we're apart, my heart still belongs to you and I can't let go of my feelings for you.

And ol' midnight knows it, too.
Midnight seems to understand my pain and how I still long for you, even when you're not here with me.

When a quarrel we had needs mending,
If we had an argument that needs to be resolved, does it mean that our love is ending?

Does it mean that our love is ending.
If we can't work through our problems, does that mean that our relationship is doomed to fail?

Darlin' I need you, lately I find
I miss you so much and lately it's been really hard to be without you.

You're out of my heart,
I can't seem to get you out of my heart or my mind, no matter how hard I try.

And I'm out of my mind.
My thoughts and emotions are so intense that I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.

Let our hearts take wings'
Let's allow ourselves to be carried away by our love and our emotions.

'round midnight, midnight
Even though the midnight hour is tough for me, it's also the perfect time to let our love take flight.

Let the angels sing,
Let's give our love the grandeur and beauty it deserves, as if it's something truly heavenly.

for your returning.
I long for the day when we'll be together again, and I'll be able to see you and hold you in my arms once more.

Till our love is safe and sound.
Until we can work through our problems and find a way to make our relationship work, our love will always be in a fragile state.

And old midnight comes around.
As long as midnight continues to come around, I know that we have work to do in order to keep our love alive.

Feelin' sad, really gets bad
No matter how hard I try to fight it, my sadness always seems to get worse as the night goes on.

Round, Round, Round Midnight
Midnight is a never-ending cycle of pain and sadness for me, and it seems like I'll never be able to break free from it.
