Someone said this was supposed to be, and someone said this is how love goes,

but when I look at you and me, it's not what I expect it to be.

Now I've seen people hurt inside, and I myself have sat and cried,

but I won't wait for you to decide, cause there's a limit to eternity.

But you take my hand, and though I know you lie 

when you say everything's alright,

I'm happy just to sit with you and watch the sky turn midnight blue

Chorus 1

Midnight is our special night

Midnight and I feel alright

Midnight I'll be loving you,

while the sky is midnight blue

Cause love is like an open flame-- it passes on like a children's game.

I still don't know if you feel the same, so I'll have to let it go for now.

You see, I love you in a different way and I want to keep us free somehow.

It's not that I don't want to stay, but I know how night becomes the day.

So I'll take your hand and I'll bless the moment 

for each moment spent with you.

I'll take what I can, while the sky turns midnight blue.

Chorus 2

Midnight blue makes things alright

Midnight secrets locked up tight

Midnight keeps you close to me,

and we will always always be

Midnight is our special time,

Midnight when you're mine all mine

Midnight is for me and you,

while the sky turns midnight blue

Someone said these weren't rules to break, but I still leave before you wake.

You see, loving you was my mistake, but I wouldn't take it back somehow.

You see, I love you in a different way, and I want to keep us free for now.

It's not that I don't want to stay, but I know how night becomes the day.
