Echo Valley 2-6809

Partridge Family · The Very Best of the Partridge Family [2005]

We grew up together with ferris wheels and sunshine laughter

A rainbow love that lasted after the rain

And now we're separated and I've become a lonely runner

And when I rest, I hurt and I wonder if I'll ever see you again



Echo Valley 2-6809, I used to call that number all the time

But the last time that I called you we hung up cryin'

Echo Valley 2-6809, I can see it clearly in my mind

But I'm scared to call, 'cause it's been such a long, long time



Never been much for writin', 'cause what do you say to a dream that's dyin'

A fragile lifeline that's untyin', oh no, oh, no

And I can't face the sunrise, lightin' up a road to nowhere

Where you are, I have to go there, are you waitin', I've got to know



Echo Valley 2-6809, I gotta call that number one more time

'Cause I've just got to know if you're still mine



Hello, operator? Get me Echo Valley 2-6809

You have reached a disconnected number



Echo Valley 2-6809, I shoulda called that number

Echo Valley 2-6809, I shoulda called that number

Echo Valley 2-6809, I shoulda called that number

Echo Valley 2-6809, I shoulda called that number

Echo Valley 2-6809
