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      Right about now, the heartaches start calling   Right about now, the teardrops start falling   The late show is over and there's no place to go   And it's right about now, that I miss you you so      I start counting the hours when daylight begins   Or 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      Right about now, the heartaches start calling   Right about now, the teardrops start falling   The late show is over and there's no place to go   And it's right about now, that I miss you you so
