Woke up this morning i was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish i had you here to hold
All i've got is this touch-tone phone
So i guess i'll give you a call
Operator help me please
Get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you
I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now i'm glad i got you on the line
Well it feels so fine
Knowing you're all right
But you're miles away
Lord it's not the same
Well i woke up this morning i was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might
Come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's
Gonna drive me out of my mind
