Operator please connect me with nineteen eighty two
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to
They say hindsight's twenty twenty, but I'm nearly going blind
From staring at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same ole lost love story, it's sad, but it's true
There was a time when she was mine in nineteen eighty two
Postman can you sell me a special kind of stamp
One to send a letter from this crazy, lonely man
Back into the wasted years of my living past
I need to tell her now I know how long my love will last
They say hindsight's twenty twenty, but I'm nearly going blind
From staring at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same ole lost love story, it's sad, but it's true
There was a time when she was mine in nineteen eighty two
Losing my mind going back in time to nineteen eighty two
