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've thought the whole thing through

and now it's clear that she is what

i should have held on to

they say hindsight's 20/20

but i'm nearly going blind

from staring 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 going blind

from staring 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
