Lyrics

The telephone rang, and I reached out my hand
To find out who was callin’ me this time
So much to my surprise, it brought a tear to my eye
I sure am glad you dropped me a line

You know I care for you deeply, and I often think sweetly
Of the times when we were young
But in time a boy’s got to be a man and do all he can
To find out once and for all...
if he can reach the stars

I’m gonna be busy for a while
And I’m sorry I won’t be around to share your smile
Maybe someday you’ll hear my voice like magic on the radio
But at least until that time... we’ve still got the telephone line

You know I care for you deeply, and I often think sweetly
Of the times when we were young
But in time a boy’s got to be a man and do all he can
To find out once and for all... if his dreamin’ days are done

...Yeah, maybe someday you’ll see me singin' this song on a video
But at least until that time... we’ve still got the doorbell chime
