Analysis of Twelve O'Clock



Twelve o'clock that night,
That night my dream came true,
We drove for two miles you see,
Just so we could meet you.
We sat for hours in pain that night,
Just to feel your touch,
But soon that nigh came twelve o'clock,
The time I waited for much.
Ought came my baby boy,
So gentle and so small,
And once it hit twelve o'clock that night,
I knew I had it all.
