Midnight
I've spent another lonely day
Thinkin' of you
Midnight
Tomorrow is on its way
Empty and blue
I'm so lonely
So lonely at midnight for you

Midnight
Oh, what a lonely time to weep
I oughta know
Midnight
I should have been fast asleep
Hours ago
Still I'm cryin'
I'm cryin' 'cause I miss you so

(Instrumental Break)

Midnight
I lie in bed awake and stare
At nothin' at all
Wond'rin'
Wond'rin' why you don't care
Wishin' you'd call
Tears keep flowin'
Like drops from a waterfall

Midnight
I've spent another lonely day
Thinkin' of you
Midnight
Tomorrow is on its way
Empty and blue
I'm so lonely
So lonely at midnight for you
