In The Midnight Hour    (1965)

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till 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, in the midnight hour

Yes I am, oh, yes, I am

I'm gonna wait till 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

Yeah! All right - play it for me one time now

Just you and I... oh, baby, hah!
Just you and I... nobody around, baby, just you and I
All right... you know what?
I'm gonna hold you in my arms...
Just you and I, oh yeah
In the midnight hour
Oh, baby, in the midnight hour [fade]

Lyrics by Steve Cropper and Wilson Pickett.
