Why Don't That Telephone Ring

(Ron HellardCharles 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 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
