Midnight, I've spent another lonely day, thinkin' of you Midnight, tomorrow is on it's way, empty and blue I'm so lonely, so lonely at midnight for you Midnight, oh what a lonely time to weep, I ought to know Midnight, I should have been fast asleep hours ago Still I'm crying, I'm crying 'cause I miss you so Midnight, I lie in bed awake and stare at nothing at all Wonderin', wonderin' why you don't care, wishing you'd call Tears keep flowing like drops from a waterfall Midnight, I've spent another lonely day, thinkin' of you Midnight, tomorrow is on it's way, empty and blue I'm so lonely, so lonely at midnight for you
