In the Midnight Hour Lyrics

[00:09.17] I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
[00:14.14]
[00:17.08] That's when my love comes tumbling down
[00:21.53] I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
[00:25.73] When there's no one else around
[00:29.78] I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
[00:34.66] And do all the things I told you
[00:38.62] In the midnight hour
[00:41.97] Yes I am, oh, yes I am
[00:45.92] One more thing I just want to say right here
[00:47.96] I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out
[00:53.50] And see that twinkle in your eyes
[00:58.27] I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
[01:02.33] That when my love begins to shine
[01:06.96] You're the only girl I know
[01:10.86] That really love me so
[01:14.71] In the midnight hour
[01:17.09] Oh yeah, in the midnight hour
[01:21.23] Yeah, all right, play it for me one time
[01:27.55]
[01:41.62] I'm gonna wait 'til midnight hour
[01:46.97] That's when my love comes tumbling down
[01:51.02] I'm gonna wait, way in the midnight hour
[01:55.63] That's when my love begins to shine
[01:59.84] Just you and I
[02:01.63] Oh baby, huh, just you and I
[02:06.09] Nobody around baby, just you and I
[02:10.50] All right
[02:12.00] You know what, I'm gonna hold you in my arms, just you and I
[02:18.97] Oh, yeah
[02:21.26] In the midnight hour
[02:23.33] Oh, baby
[02:24.23]
