We grew up together with ferris wheels and sunshine laughter

a rainbow love that lasted after the rain



Now we're separated and I've become a lonely runner

and when I rest, I hurt and I wonder if I'll ever see you again





CHORUS:



Echo Valley 2-6809

I used to call that number all the time

But the last time that I called you

we hung up cryin'



Echo Valley 2-6809

I can see it clearly in my mind

But I'm scared to call 'cause it's been

such a long, long time





Never been much for writin', 'cause what do you say to a dream that's dyin'

a fragile lifeline that's untyin', oh no - oh, no



I can't face the sunrise - lightin' up a road to nowhere

where you are - I have to go there - are you waitin' - I've got to know





CHORUS:



Echo Valley 2-6809

I gotta call that number one more time

'Cause I've just got to know if you're still mine



Spoken: "Hello, operator? Get me Echo Valley 2-6809"

Operator: "You have reached a disconnected number"



CHORUS:



Echo Valley 2-6809

I shoulda called that number

Echo Valley 2-6809

I shoulda called that number



REPEAT AND FADE
