Round Midnight

music: Cootie Williams and Thelonius Monk
lyrics: Bernie Hanighen


It begins to tell ‘round midnight,
‘round midnight
I do pretty well till after sundown
Suppertime I’m feeling sad
But it 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 needs mending
Does it 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 the angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
