Elvis Presley Song:

It's Midnight (1974)
(Written by Chesnut and Wheeler)
This song is about a man who is missing his love when it's late and midnight. 

"I ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget you,
Oh, but it's midnight, yes, and I miss you."

I heard Elvis sing this song from a sheet of paper in 1974 concert in San Antonio. What a beautiful and depressing song. dario r

Many thanks to Elvis for his beautiful songs. After many years a man who was shy came into my life. He being a serious Elvis fan would say, "Please youtube this song because it explains how I feel about you." As the time getting to know each other progressed I have had many songs from him to listen to and It's Midnight became our special one. Elvis has been speaking for a wonderful man who now is speaking for himself. Love you my Darling.

This has always been one of my favorite Elvis songs. By his voice you can tell the song obviously struck home with him personally. I am a late night person and I'm often awake at midnight thinking about the past and how my life has turned out. Elvis was intensely lonely at heart and you can tell by this song. It's one of his best. Kevin

I have been a fan since I was 8 years old and now I am 62--so I think for me that Elvis has always filled the lonely spot in my heart; his music can always make me feel better--to me his voice was just magic--I was a very lonely child and teen and grew up in an abusive home--he was my escape. Love Elvis forever---God bless him

The song means a lot to me, how I feel and I've sent the text to that special someone and now we're together for almost 2 years :) Dave
