Mister Midnight - Johnnie Ray

Rain on the room 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

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

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?

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
