There are twenty-three hours that I can get by
But the twenty-fourth hour is the one when I cry
I pray that it won’t come, but it comes anyhow
And the twenty-fourth hour is right about now
CHORUS:
Right about now, the heartaches start callin’
Right about now, the teardrops start fallin’
The late show is over, and there’s no place to go
And it’s right about now that I miss you so
I start counting the hours when daylight begins
For I know that when night comes, just how it will end
I pray that it won’t come, but it comes anyhow
And the twenty-fourth hour is right about now
REPEAT CHORUS
