Lyrics

I've been away from you for far too long

Too much chances make my heart go frantic

I wanna tell you what's been goin' on,

operator give me Trans Atlantic

I sit alone as the night goes by

Stare at the phone and wait for your reply

CHORUS:

Long long distance love affair, I can't find you anywhere

I call you on the telefone, but you're never home

I gotta get a message to you, I wanna tell you what I'm going through

What in the world's comin' over you

How come you're acting like a total stranger

I try to reach you but I can't get through

I got this feeling that my heart's in danger

I got your letter it was perfectly clear

Havin' a ball, and wishin' you are here

CHORUS

Premonition is a funny thing, a familiar kind of pain and easy

Like knowin' when the phone is gonna ring

Too many times and it'll drive you crazy

I hear your echo in the longer hall

Call out your name, but no-one's there at all

Long long distance love affair, I can't find you anywhere

I call you on the telefone, but you're never home

(repeats out)
