The Twenty-Fourth Hour

There are 23 hours that I can't get by
But the 24th hour is the one when I cry
I pray that it won't come but it comes anyhow
And the 24th hour is right about now.

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, you so.

I start counting the hours when daylight began
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 24th hour is right about now.

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, you so...
