1982

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 thought the whole thing through

And now it's clear that she is what I should have held onto



They say hindsight's 20-20 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 20-20 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



Losing my mind going back in time to 1982...
