Whenever I'm laying awake in bed all night
Up past when everyone else says their prayers
Well I know that I'd rather waste my breath
Up late on the phone talking to you instead
And I can't hardly wait until I get home
Just me up in my room but I'm not alone
Hushed whispers echoing on the telephone
Just hoping to avoid the dial tone
Discussions of all our hopes and our fears
Plans of how we'll spend our golden years
Your voice is like music to my ears
A song in three words no one else will hear
Whenever I'm laying awake in bed all night
Up past when everyone else says their prayers
Well I know that I'd rather waste my breath
Up late on the phone talking to you instead
And I can't hardly wait until I get home
Just me up in my room but I'm not alone
Hushed whispers echoing on the telephone
Just hoping to avoid the dial tone
Dial tone
Dial tone
Dial tone
Dial tone
