'round Midnight Songtext
von Carmen McRae

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 midnight
Life's a game of chance
And you're one of the minor players
Look for what you love
The day to come harbours some
Let your spirit stop the fight
At that time ′round midnight
Every day′s gonna bring some sadness
Every day's gonna bring some gladness
Just take what you can of the glad times
Don′t measure your pleasure in nickels and dines Look back on today
And you'll know when you′ve been unhappy
Fears don't chased away just might at night have the day
Let your eyes put out their light
At that time ′round about midnight
Every day's gonna bring some glad times
Every day's gonna bring some sad times
Just take what you can from the glad times
Don′t measure your pleasure in nickles and dimes
Look back on today
And you′ll know when you've been unhappy
Fears don′t chased away just might at night have the day
Let your eyes put out their light
At that time 'round about midnight
′Round about midnight
