Mr. Midnight Lyrics
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
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 would 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...
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
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'
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
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
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
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...
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
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'
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

WOW I'm the first!!!!This song is so cool....with radio in it's traditional form dying out it's awesome to reminiese(sp) about calling in requests on the radio and the lyrics are wonderful!!!!
amazing song! My ex sang this song..and he did an amazing job... lol anyways. I'm not sure the meaning of this song.. but to me it's kind of about loving someone you lost or had to let go and then hearing/seeing them somehow and then knowing they did you wrong and not being able to say you love them back because they hurt you too bad.. maybe something like that.. i hope it kind of helped!
I always thought that it is about a radio deejay who plays people's requests, but not what he wants to play.
The guy worked at a radio station and mourned lost love. one day the girl he still loved but was not dating called the station and, not realizing that he was the dj, she spoke my name She said, "Could you tell him that I love him and I wish things could be the same." after that her new boyfriend questioned her on who was on the phone, thus rendering the narator? even more broken hearted.
