|
I had a lover, but haven't we all
|
He had to leave so sometimes I'd call
|
I was lost and living in the real world
|
I'd call.
|
|
Satellites are blinking all through the night
|
Wishes like this don't seem right
|
Rising and falling as I make my request
|
Hello, operator, can I make this collect.
|
|
Higher and higher, burns the fire
|
Love's lost on the telephone wire
|
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
|
Wishing on telstar, should've been told.
|
|
Person to person, looking for affection
|
Do I just break through or do I have to wait
|
(Person to person) it sure hurts when you get away
|
My long distance lover, can I make you stay.
|
|
Higher and higher, burns the fire
|
Love's lost on the telephone wire
|
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
|
Wishing on telstar, should've been told.
|
|
Hello? Operator?
|
Hello, hello. Operator?
|
Hello, hello? Hello, hello?
|
|
Wishing on telstar
|
Should've been, should've been
|
Wishing on telstar
|
Should've been told.
|
|
Higher and higher, burns the fire
|
Love's lost on the telephone wire
|
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
|
Wishing on telstar, should've been told.
|
|
Wishing on telstar (hello, operator?)
|
Should've been told (hello, hello, operator?)
|
Wishing on, wishing on telstar (operator?)
|
Should've been told
|
Wishing on telstar.
|
|
Hello? Operator?
|
Hello?
