Rain on the roof and time on my hands It sure seemed quit 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
[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
'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
[Repeat Chorus]
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'
