Lyric

When the day has turned to evening, to evening

And the stars come out to show their magic

That's the time you'll feel so lonesome

It's so strange and it's blue at midnight

Where are those whose dreams are shattered? Are shattered?

Some who search in vain for long lost romance

Some who walk the city canyons

Hoping they'll get one more chance

When your life seems it's not worth living

And your world seems it's unforgiving

I have found traveling around

It's often been told, "Don't lose your soul"

There may be a new tomorrow, baby

I hope you find a love to hold you spellbound

Then you will be oh so happy

When old midnight comes around

I cannot tell you what is luck

To have someone that you could really love

A good man that you can call your own

To call your heart and soul

And so 'round midnight is my time to plead

- It's already the end -
