artist: Garth Brooks lyrics
title: Mr. Midnight
album: Scarecrow
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]
