[Verse 1]
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 and make their special dedications
And I do my best to play their request when it's a desperate situation
This was a desperate situation

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 a love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you
[Bridge]
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?"

[Chorus]
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 a love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, could I play a song for you
