Why Don't That Telephone Ring
(Ron Hellard - Charles Quillen)
I had the operator call me back
She said my phone is working fine
I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn
But it's 2 a.m. Pacific time.
I thought sure she would've called by now
To tell me all about that wild and crazy LA scene
Well, I know my number's in her book
Why don't that telephone ring?
Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting
Longing for her long distance call
I wish I knew what her silence is saying
If my love means anything
Why don't that telephone ring?
--- Instrumental ---
She's always had this distant dream
I said go make it come true
And you know whatever's in the cards
I'll be right here for you.
But that's been too long ago
And now I just don't know
If I'm still a part of her dream
If I ever cross her mind at all
Why don't that telephone ring?
Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting
Longing for her long distance call
I wish I knew what her silence is saying
If my love means anything
Why don't that telephone ring?...
I had the operator call me back
She said my phone is working fine
I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn
But it's 2 a.m. Pacific time.
I thought sure she would've called by now
To tell me all about that wild and crazy LA scene
Well, I know my number's in her book
Why don't that telephone ring?
Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting
Longing for her long distance call
I wish I knew what her silence is saying
If my love means anything
Why don't that telephone ring?
--- Instrumental ---
She's always had this distant dream
I said go make it come true
And you know whatever's in the cards
I'll be right here for you.
But that's been too long ago
And now I just don't know
If I'm still a part of her dream
If I ever cross her mind at all
Why don't that telephone ring?
Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting
Longing for her long distance call
I wish I knew what her silence is saying
If my love means anything
Why don't that telephone ring?...
