Story Behind The Song
The song was written with lyrics but I loved the melody which I felt was so expressive that I decided to do an arrangement of it without the lyrics.
Though there is sadness there is also hope in the belief that passing time will bring an end to the pain and sadness.

Lyrics
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
© Val Zudell
YOUR MEMORY STILL WALKS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
LIKE A GHOST IT HAUNTS MY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
YOUR ABSENCE SPEAKS SO LOUDLY IN THE DARKNESS
AND FOLLOWS ME INTO THE MORNING LIGHT
YOUR MEMORY STILL WALKS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
IT COMES TO LIE BESIDE ME ON MY BED
THE VISION IS SO REAL I REACH TO TOUCH YOU
BUT MY HANDS CARESS THE EMPTINESS INSTEAD
Chorus;
I PROMISED TO FORGET YOU
TO ERASE YOU FROM MY LIFE
BUT LONLINESS AS COLD AS STEEL
CUTS THROUGH ME LIKE A KNIFE
IT'S THEN YOU DRENCH MY SENSES
LIKE A SUDDEN SUMMER SHOWER
DISOLVING MY DEFENSES
WHEN IT TURNS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
I PRAY THAT WHEN AGAIN THE SUMMER FINDS ME
PASSING TIME WILL HAVE WORKED IT'S MAGIC POWER
TO FREE ME FROM THIS HOPELESS DREAMS THAT BINDS ME
TO YOUR MEMORY THAT WALKS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
