I had a lover, but havent we all
He had to leave so sometimes Id call
I was lost and living in the real world
Id call.
Satellites are blinking all through the night
Wishes like this dont seem right
Rising and falling as I make my request
Hello, operator, can I make this collect.
Higher and higher, burns the fire
Loves lost on the telephone wire
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
Wishing on telstar, shouldve been told.
Person to person, looking for affection
Do I just break through or do I have to wait
(Person to person) it sure hurts when you get away
My long distance lover, can I make you stay.
Higher and higher, burns the fire
Loves lost on the telephone wire
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
Wishing on telstar, shouldve been told.
Hello? Operator?
Hello, hello. Operator?
Hello, hello? Hello, hello?
Wishing on telstar
Shouldve been, shouldve been
Wishing on telstar
Shouldve been told.
Higher and higher, burns the fire
Loves lost on the telephone wire
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
Wishing on telstar, shouldve been told.
Wishing on telstar (hello, operator?)
Shouldve been told (hello, hello, operator?)
Wishing on, wishing on telstar (operator?)
Shouldve been told
Wishing on telstar.
Hello? Operator?
Hello?
