Why Don't That Telephone Ring Lyrics - Tracy Byrd

I had the operator call me back 

She said my phone is working fine 

I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn 

But it's 2 a.m. Pacific Time 

I thought sure she would've called by now 

To tell me all about that wild and crazy LA scene 

Well, I know my number's in her book 

Why don't that telephone ring? 

Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting 

Longing for her long distance call 

I wish I knew what her silence is saying 

If my love means anything, why don't that telephone ring? 

She's always had this distant dream 

I said, "Go make it come true 

And you know whatever's in the cards 

I'll be right here for you" 

But that's been too long ago 

And now I just don't know 

If I'm still a part of her dream 

If I ever cross her mind at all, why don't that telephone ring? 

Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting 

Longing for her long distance call 

I wish I knew what her silence is saying 

If my love means anything, why don't that telephone ring?
