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 L.A. 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
She`s always had this disi:ant 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
