Why Don't That Telephone Ring? Lyrics

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?

Instrumental Break.

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?
