I had the operator call me back
(Ebm6/Bb) She said my phone was working fine
I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn
(Emb6/Bb) 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 cr azy L.A. scene
Well, I know my number's in the book
(Ebm6/Bb) Why don't that telephone ring
Don't she know I'm axiously wai ting
Longing for her long distance call
I wish I knew what her silence is saying
If our love means any thing
Why don't that telephone ring
She always had this distant dream
(Ebm6/Bb) I said go make it come true
And, ya know whatever's in the cards
(Ebm6/Bb) I'll be right here for you
But, that's been too long ago
Now, I just don't know
If I'm still part of that dream
If I ever cross her mind at all
(Ebm6/Bb) Why don't that telephone ring
Don't she know I'm axiously wai ting
Longing for her long distance call
I wish I knew what her silence is saying
If our love means any thing
Why don't that telephone ring
If our love means any thing
Why don't that telephone ring
