'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 be come 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 harbors 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 to smite that might 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 awhile this old day will be yesterday

Alone at midnight in my room

I sit here in the gloom

My dreams take flight 'round about midnight
