Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello, how are you?
Have you been all right
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That's what I'd say
I'd tell you everything
If you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Hey, how you feelin'?
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did, we did
Were all for real, not a dream
I just can't believe they've all faded out of view
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna  see you through)
And I wonder why
(The little things you planned ain't comin't true)
[Verse 4]
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
[Verse 5]
Okay, so no one's answerin'
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer, oh
I'll just sit tight
Through shadows of the night
Let it ring forever more, whoa-whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(The little things you planned ain't comin't true)
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
[Verse 8]
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
