  • It's nice to hear your voice again
    I've waited all day long
    Even wrote a song for you
    It's strange the way you make me feel
    With just a word or two
    I'd like to do the same for you
    It's nice to hear you say hello

    And how are things with you?
    I love you
    But very soon it's time to go
    An office job to do
    While I'm here writing songs for you

    Strange how a phone call can change your day
    Take you away, away
    From the feeling of being alone
    Bless the telephone

    It's nice the way you say my name
    Not very fast or slow
    Just soft and low, the same
    'Cause when you tell me how you feel
    I feel the same way too
    I'm very much in love with you

    Strange how a phone call can change your day
    Take you away, away
    From the feeling of being alone
    Bless the telephone
