Twelve O'Clock Waltz 1928

The music is playing
the dancers are swaying
The lights are low
the moonlight is gleaming
while I stand here dreaming
of long ago.
While bright eyes are shining
and arms are entwining
I sadly sigh
Midnight is near
I'm lonely here
as they go gliding by...

Twelve o'clock
hear the silvery chimes
Twelve o'clock
makes me think of old times,
when I danced with you
Romanced with you
and love was young and true.
Twelve o'clock
Oh how diff'rent tonight
Twelve o'clock
someone else holds you tight
but in Mem'ry Lane you're mine again
ev'ry night at Twelve o'clock.

Twelve o'clock
hear the silvery chimes
Twelve o'clock
makes me think of old times,
when I danced with you
Romanced with you
and love was young and true.
Twelve o'clock
Oh how diff'rent tonight
Twelve o'clock
someone else holds you tight
but in Mem'ry Lane you're mine again
ev'ry night at Twelve o'clock.

A moment of gladness
of kisses and madness
Comes back to me
A moment of pleasure
that I'll always treasure
in memory
without you to love me
the moon up above me
will never shine,
Tho' you are gone
you linger on
down in this heart of mine.

Twelve o'clock
hear the silvery chimes
Twelve o'clock
makes me think of old times,
when I danced with you
Romanced with you
and love was young and true.
Twelve o'clock
Oh how diff'rent tonight
Twelve o'clock
someone else holds you tight
but in Mem'ry Lane you're mine again
ev'ry night at Twelve o'clock.

Twelve o'clock
hear the silvery chimes
Twelve o'clock
makes me think of old times,
when I danced with you
Romanced with you
and love was young and true.
Twelve o'clock
Oh how diff'rent tonight
Twelve o'clock
someone else holds you tight
but in Mem'ry Lane you're mine again
ev'ry night at Twelve o'clock.
