Theme from Middle of the Night Lyrics

[Verse: Nina Simone]
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
Where joys and tears just dried

To breakfast with the moon
In the middle of the night

Then to cut once more, my miserly hoard
Of your kisses in this darkness restored
To grasp your absent grace
In desperate embrace
To make your false heart true
Middle of the night
The night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
