Stephanie Spruill - Round Midnight Lyrics

Lyrics Round Midnight - Stephanie Spruill




It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Suppertime I'm feeling sad
But it really gets bad at midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight, 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And ol' midnight knows it, too
When a quarrel we've had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you lately, I find
That you're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wings 'round midnight
Let the angels sing of your returning
'Til our love is safe and sound
And ol' midnight comes around
A pale and lonely moon lights the sky in the dark
Before the dawn
I sit here in my room, how I sigh
For the day that's come and gone
Another lonely day passes by
And a new day's coming on at midnight
Tears I've shed today will pause waiting until tomorrow
Dreams of what could be come close to me timidly
There's a brand new day in sight
At that time 'round midnight
Life's a game of chance and you're one of the minor players
Look for what you love, the day to come you better harbor some
Let your spirit stop that fight
Let your spirit stop that fight
At that time 'round midnight, yeah
Every day's gonna bring some sadness
Every day's gonna bring some gladness
So take what you can of the good times
And don't measure your pleasure on nickels and dimes
You betterWhen you've been unhappy
Tears won't wash away the mighty mite
Half the day
Let your eyes put out their light
At that time
Round about midnight
I think no more about today
'Cause in a while
This old day will be yesterday
Alone here in my room
I sit here in the gloom
And let my dreams take flight
Round about midnight
