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 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
