'Round Midnight

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 the new day's comin' on At midnight Tears I've shed today will pause, waiting until tomorrow Dreams of what could become close to me, timidly There's a brand-new day in sight At that time 'round about midnight Life's a game of chance, and you're just one of the minor players Look for what you love, the day to come harbours some Let your eyes put out their light At that time 'round about midnight Every day is gonna bring some sadness Every day is gonna bring some gladness So, take what you can of the glad times Don't measure your pleasure in nickels and dimes Look back on today And you'll know when you have been unhappy Fears done chased away just might have let them have their day Let your spirits stop the fight At that time 'round about midnight Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing for your returning Till our love is safe and sound And old midnight comes around I'll think no more about today For in a while, this old day will be yesterday Alone at midnight in my room I sit here in the gloom My dreams take flight 'round 'bout midnight
