Mr. Midnight

Rain on the roof and time on my hands

It sure seemed quiet out there in radio land

They call me at the all-night station

Make their special dedications

And I do my best to play their request

When it's a desperate situation

This was a desperate situation

I'm Mr. Midnight, alone and blue

The brokenhearted call me up when they don't know what else to do

Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew

I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you?

"Caller on the line, could you, please, hold on?"

I recognized her voice the minute I picked up the phone

Should I tell her that it's me or leave it at a memory?

Haven't been myself since the day she left

And I'm never gonna be

I'm forever gonna be

Mr. Midnight, alone and blue

The brokenhearted call me up when they don't know what else to do

Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew

I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you?

Imagine my surprise when she spoke my name

She said, "Could you tell him that I love him

And I wish things could be the same"

Then a voice I never knew said, "Honey, who you talking to?"

Mr. Midnight, alone and blue

The brokenhearted call me up when they don't know what else to do

Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew

I'm Mr. Midnight, could I play a song for you?
