Song Description
The memory of a lost love disturbs this mans sleep when her presence seems to fill his room from the time he goes to bed until the wee morning hours.
His solace is in his hope that time will erase his need and love for her.

Lyrics
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
© Val Zudell
YOUR MEMORY STILL WALKS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
LIKE A GHOST IT HAUNTS MY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
YOUR ABSENCE SPEAKS SO LOUDLY IN THE DARKNESS
AND ECHOES FAR INTO THE MORNING LIGHT
YOUR MEMORY STILL WALKS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
IT COMES TO LIE BESIDE ME ON MY BED
THE VISION IS SO REAL I REACH TO TOUCH YOU
BUT MY HANDS CARESS THE EMPTINESS INSTEAD
Chorus;
I PROMISED TO FORGET YOU
TO ERASE YOU FROM MY LIFE
BUT LONLINESS AS COLD AS STEEL
CUTS THROUGH ME LIKE A KNIFE
IT'S THEN YOU DRENCH MY SENSES
LIKE A SUDDEN SUMMER SHOWER
DISOLVING MY DEFENSES
WHEN IT TURNS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
I PRAY THAT WHEN AGAIN THE SUMMER FINDS ME
PASSING TIME WILL HAVE WORKED IT'S MAGIC POWER
TO FREE ME FROM THIS HOPELESS DREAMS THAT BINDS ME
TO YOUR MEMORY THAT WALKS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
