Fitzgerald, Ella - Round Midnight Lyrics






It begins to tell,
'round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
When my heart is still with you,
And ol' midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.

Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart,
And I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings'
'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing,
For your returning.
Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Feelin' sad,
Really gets bad
Round.....round.......round....mid.....night....

    It's so midnight knows it too.

  21. J.... H....

    Our middle school band played this for their ballad and I can't tell you how glad I am to have stumbled upon the real lyrical Round Midnight. It's such a refresher from the secular and distasteful music my generation is surrounded by day in and day out. This is gorgeous and such a relief from the trash music surrounding me on all sides.

  22. m.... b....

    SARAH VAUGHN OWNS IT! Period

    I really adore Mel Tormé's version of this song but Ella, her voice always gives me shivers, she is a goddess. Thanks for sharing this video.

  32. P.... y....

  34. D.... M....

    She's really the lady song !!!

  35. p.... ....

    I can seldom remember seeing Ella so moved. It looks as though someone had just broken her heart an hour before she went on stage.

  36. i.... n....

    what a perfection!

  37. m.... t....

    I I plac videoclipuri pe youtube

  38. L.... 4....

    Poetry in motion, silky smooth !!!! Powerful

  39. A.... C....

    Simply beautiful. And how in the world did she find that correct final note after going all over the scale?! Talent.

    A.... C....

    she actually ended it on a C (the 9th), which is a tension in this key of Bb minor. Adding a little bit of flair.

    A.... C....

    Dat part!

  40. A.... C....

    Ahh, that voice!

  41. A.... W....

    The most genius vocals my ears have been privileged to hear and listen to. Nothing compares this.

  42. T.... H....

    I heard many people do this song, but no one does it better than the Queen Ella

    T.... H....

    Tim Harris I agree, I wonder if lady day ever performed this !!!

  43. V.... P....

    Superb voice

  44. L.... L....

    I'm putting together a playlist of various versions of #Round Midnight ......... This version will take my midnight to another level......

  45. O.... M....

    Carmen Lundy sings this very well also; heard it on my local jazz station, BUT youtube doesnt seem to have it.

  46. C.... M....

    Génial Ella

  47. S.... ....

    Gorgeous in every conceivable way.

  48. F.... S....

    My favourite to sing too... https://youtu.be/DiWD9UHM6OM

    F.... S....

    Frances Shilling O nice, did lady day ever sing this ??

  49. C.... 6....

    Beautiful. Who could not love Ella? :-)
    Does anyone know the source (TV-Show? Year?)

  50. A.... G....

    I love Ella Fitzgerald

  51. L.... H....

    Now Ella didn't need a hit of crystal meth before performing this but I thought it was a little stale. Tbh. Great crossover version tho 😂

  52. J.... Y....

    What a masterful and personal interpretation by the First Lady of song. I encourage everyone to also check out the composer of this masterpiece, pianist Thelonious Monk. He has many stellar performances of this song on here and elsewhere.

  53. M.... ....

    Celestial! Flawless! She was before my time but I adore her body of work! Love u Ella F.!

  54. R.... ....

    Ella was ella. PERIOD.

  55. j.... ....

    Have mercy.

  56. m.... z....

    Noone sings as authentic as she does

  57. L.... H....

    Perfect example of a vocalist, it's not just about having a beautiful instrument but you need to be creative and musical with that instrument as well. Ella nailed all of that with apparent ease. <3

  58. S.... C....

    Ledisi's version of this song is awe inspiring man! Let the angels sing and show their magic!! They're not witches

  59. D.... T....

    Is this Oscar Peterson on the piano?

  60. D.... ....

    Smooooth

  61. A.... D....

    Simplesmente Ella,espetacular Ella, brilhante Ella.
    À meia noite ou em qualquer hora sempre a pensar....Sempre Ella

  62. T.... C....

    thank you for posting this ♡

  63. D.... d....

    Pelas meia noite sempre lembro de voc^e!

    D.... d....

    Daniel da Silva
    Sempre....E como lembramos!!!
    Ella

    D.... d....

    No caso, pensava em minha ex-mulher!

  64. J.... s....

    Is Ella the original songwriter of "Round Midnight" ?

    J.... s....

    Thelonious Monk, one of the most important pianist/composers of the 20th century, composed this song. I encourage everyone to check out his music!

  65. C.... B....

    Anyone know where I can find sheet music of Ella's version??

  66. G.... B....

    Brazilian Radio show
    Cultura Jazz (Culture Jazz) Theme...

  67. M.... A....

    Wow, its like she is singing just for you and the message is directed to you, truly an interpreter who knows how to mesmerize the audience and bring silence to the whole room when she sings with her soul.

  68. A.... G....

    for. ever. love. this.

  69. A.... T....

    It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight
    I do pretty well till after sundown
    Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
    But it really gets bad 'round midnight


    Memories always start 'round midnight
    Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
    When my heart is still with you
    And old midnight knows it too
    When a quarrel we had needs mending
    Does it mean that our love is ending?
    Darlin', I need you; lately I find
    You're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind
    Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight
    Let the angels sing for your returning
    Till our love is safe and sound
    And old midnight comes around
    Feelin' sad, really gets bad
    'Round, 'round, 'round midnight

  82. L.... S....

    I have to know, can anybody sing this better than Ella?

    L.... S....

    carmen mcrae and babs gonzalez. but this is a point of of view issue...´the most covered jazz standard is from a person who wrote music that was never intended to be sung.

    L.... S....

    Lita Sandy Amy Winehouse sang it preety well

    L.... S....

    Lita Sandy AMY WINEHOUSE!!!

  83. M.... R....

    WHo did better version? Sassy or Ella..? <3
