Albert Hammond (writer, recording artist): This is about my life. It's about... me. All these songs are about me but there are certain songs I really identify with and this is one of them. I've been lost in my life, but I found my way. I've got the experience now, I've got the wisdom, I've got the knowledge and so I'm on the other side of midnight.

No more sorrow, no more pain
No more tears and no more blame
I left my troubles in the past
I saw "me" through the looking glass

Only laughter, only joy
Just like when I was a boy
All my innocence shines through
When I'm lying here with you

This side of midnight
This side of my life
No longer uptight
I see it clear

This side of midnight
Under the moonlight
The feeling's so right
Now that you're here

Everyone said I was lost
I was shipwrecked, I was tossed
I found the strength of love in you
You were the one who pulled me through

This side of midnight
This side of my life
No longer uptight
I see it clear

This side of midnight
Under the moonlight
The feeling's so right
Now that you're here
Now that you're here

(Instrumental)

I found the strength of love in you
You were the one who pulled me through

This side of midnight
This side of my life
No longer uptight
I see it clear

This side of midnight
Under the moonlight
The feeling's so right
Now that you're here
Now that you're here
