operator please connect me with 1982
i need to make apologies
for what i didn't do
i sure do need to tell her that i've
thought the whole thing through
and now it's clear that she is
what i should have held on to
they say hindsight's twenty twenty
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 1982
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 twenty twenty
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 1982
losin my mind goin'
back in time to 1982
