Intro:
Hello how are you?‎
Have you been alright, through
All those lonely,
Lonely, lonely lonely nights
That&#039;s what I&#039;d say,
I&#039;d tell you everything
If you&#039;d pick up that telephone
Ya ya ya
Hey how you feelin&#039;‎
Are you still the same
Don&#039;t you realise the things
We did we did were all for real
Not a dream
I just can&#039;t believe
They&#039;ve all faded out of view.
Yeah yeah, ooh  ooh ooh
Shoo wop doo be doo doo wop
Doo wah doo lang
Blue days black nights
Doo wah doo lang
I look into the sky
The love you need ain&#039;t gonna
See you through
And I wonder why
The little things you planned
Ain&#039;t coming true
Oh, telephone line
Give me some time,
I&#039;m living in twilight
Oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I&#039;m living in twilight
Bridge:
Okay, so no one&#039;s answering
Can&#039;t you just let it ring
A little longer longer longer oh,
I&#039;ll just sit tight,
Through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.
Oh oh, whoa,   ya ya ya
Shoo wop doo be doo doo wop
Doo wah doo lang
Blue days black nights
Doo wah doo lang
I look into the sky
The love you need ain&#039;t gonna
See you through
And I wonder why
The little things you planned
Ain&#039;t coming true
Oh, telephone line
Give me some time,
I&#039;m living in twilight
Oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I&#039;m living in twi light
