Nina Simone - Theme From Middle Of The Night lyrics

(1959) George Bassman, Chayefsky

Only the lonely love, only the sad of soul
Wake and begin their day in
The middle of the night
To breakfast on their pride
Burnt joys and tears just dried
To breakfast with the moon in
The middle of the night

Then to count once more my
Miserly store of your kisses
In this darkness restored
To grasp your absent grace
In desperate embrace
To make your false heart true
In the middle of the night oh oh oh

Then to count once more my
Miserly store of your kisses
In this darkness restored
To grasp your absent grace
In desperate embrace
To make your false heart true
In the middle of the night
