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?"
[repeat chorus]
