Well, I'm sitting by the telephone waiting for you to call
I've got the welcome light shining
Got the red carpet down in the hall
And my heart starts jumping
Just thinking about the sound of you voice
You know I hate to wait but I love you, so I got no choice
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
But I'll go crazy if I wait much longer
I'm beginning to wonder if you remember our love at all
Well, the problems of the night seem much better in the light of day
But if you don't hurry honey then I'll have to give my heart away
It takes a certain kind of man to let this loneliness go on and on
You know I hate to wait and by tomorrow I just might be gone
I picked up the phone as soon as it rang
Picked up the phone and my heart really sang
And I suddenly forgot all the trouble I'd been thinkin' about
You said: ""Goodbye"", and I said: ""I love you""
You said: ""Hold on"", and I said: ""Forever""
And then you were gone and I was left alone with my doubt
Well, I'm sitting by the telephone waiting for you to call
I've got the welcome light shining
Got the red carpet down in the hall
And my heart starts jumping
Just thinking about the sound of you voice
You know I hate to wait but I love you, so I got no choice
