Verse 1

(

)

I'm gonna wait til the midnight hour

That's when my love comes tumblin' down

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour

When there's no one else around

I'm gonna take you girl and hold you

And do all the things I told you

In the midnight hour

[to coda on repeat]

Verse 2

I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out

And see that twinkle in your eyes

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour

That's when my love begins to shine

You're the only girl I know

That really loves me so

In the midnight hour

Oh, yeah, in the midnight hour
