  • Hello, how are you?
    Have you been alright through all those lonely
    Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
    That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
    If you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Hey, how you feelin'?
    Are you still the same, don't you realize the things we did
    We did were all for real, not a dream
    I just can't believe they've all faded out
    Of view, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh

    Blue days, black nights
    I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
    And I wonder why (the little things you planned ain't comin' true)
    Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
    Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

    Okay, so no one's answering
    Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer
    Longer, longer oh, I'll just sit tight
    Through shadows of the night
    Let it ring forever more, oh

    Blue days, black nights, doo wah doo lang
    I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
    And I wonder why (the little things you planned ain't comin' true)
    Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
    Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

    Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
    Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Writer/s: JEFF LYNNE
