Operator please connect me with Nineteen-Eighty Two I need to make apologies for what I didn't do I sure do need to tell her that I thought the whole thing through And now it's clear that she is what - I should have held onto. They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two. Postman can you sell me - a special kind of stamp One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man Back into the wasted years of my living past I need to tell her, now I know - how long my love will last. They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two. Losing my mind, going back in time - to Nineteen-Eighty Two. |

On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long. So many lover's games I could play with you and on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong Chorus: But on the other hand, There's a golden band To remind of someone who would not understand On one hand I could stay and be your loving man But the reason I must go is on the other hand In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died When I looked into your eyes I found myself When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else Repeat Chorus |

Well last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer I set it on the table and I talked to it til four Then I read some old love letters right up til the break of dawn Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones I'm a diggin up bones Exhuming things that's better left alone I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones Then I went through the closet and I found some things in there Like that pretty lingerie that I bought you to wear Then I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones I'm a diggin up bones Exhuming things that's better left alone I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones |

You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free You may wonder how I can promise you now This love that I feel for you Always will be You're not just time that I'm killing I'm no longer one of those guys As sure as live This love that I give Is gonna be yours until the day that I die Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful I'll be happy to tell you again I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen They say time takes its toll on a body Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray Well, honey, I don't care I ain't in love with your hair And if it all fell out I'd love you anyway Well, they say time can play tricks on a memory Make people forget things they knew Well, it's easy to see It's happening to me I've already forgotten every women but you Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful Just listen to how this song ends I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever amen |

You've been too gone for too long It's too late to come back now It’s been so long since you walked out my door Now you're just an old song nobody sings any more I've got a new love and she's a true love But darlin' how could you have known You've been too gone too long Now its too late Io come back home You came a long way goin' the wrong way Don't even set your suitcase down You wanted to roam, now you're paying the bill You're an old rolling stone who rolled over the hill Well I had a good cry when you said goodbye I didn't want to let you go But you've been too gone too long Now it’s too late to come back home I had a good cry when you said goodbye I didn't want to let you go But you've been too gone too long So why don't you just stay gone You've been too gone too long Now it’s too late to come back home |

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you And suppose I said "I wanna come back home". And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson" And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone. If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted And it's killin' me to be so far away. Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together? Or would you simply laugh at me and say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you had to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever Would you get down on yours to and take my hand? Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours The way we did when our love first began? Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely And you waited for the day that I return. And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only Or would you say the tables finally turned? Would you say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you had to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". "Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". |

Someday, Someway You'll realise that you've been blind Yes Darling, you're going to need me again It's just a matter of time Go on, go on Til you reach the end of the line Cause I know you'll pass my way again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and you called me a clown Remember in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love is a true love It's just a matter of time Words are spoken with chords played Someday and Someway Girl you'll realise that you've been blind Yes Darling, I know you gonna need me again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and you called me a clown But remember in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love was a true love It's just a matter of time |

Since the day I was led to temptation And in weakness did let your love down I have prayed that with time and compassion You'd come around I keep waiting for you to forgive me And you keep saying you can't even start And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown To the hard rock bottom of your heart To the hard rock bottom of your heart Now this home we have built is still standing It's foundation is on solid ground Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it Or burn it down I keep waiting for you to forgive me And you keep saying you can't even start And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown To the hard rock bottom of your heart To the hard rock bottom of your heart We can't just block it out We've got to talk it out Until our hearts get back in touch I need your love I miss it I can't go on like this is Hurts too much |

I remember how it used to feel Riding down old two mile hill Tennis shoes up on the handle bars Paying no mind to the passing cars No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It took a little time to get up to speed To find the confidence and strength I need To just let go and reach for the sky You know sometimes it felt I could fly. No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here. No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It doesn't take much, just a smile or a touch And I'm a kid again, I can almost feel that wind No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. Look heart, no hands |
