24th Hour

(Ray Price)



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...
