| Checked in tonight, when I noticed the red light
|
| Picked up the phone and I called the operator —
|
| She said a lady left a name and a number
|
| Hey, operator, don’t you think you could connect me?
|
| I’ve been waiting for so long for her to call me
|
| Hold on, I’ll try to put you through
|
| Just hold on, I’ll try it again for you
|
| Hold on, I’m just putting you through
|
| I turned down the lights
|
| I sat back and waited for an answer
|
| Hope everything’s all right —
|
| I wonder why she called and what she had to tell me
|
| Hey, lady, are you sure this number’s right?
|
| I tried all day and I tried all night. |
| Oh, no
|
| Hold on, I’m trying to put you through
|
| Hold on, I’ll try it again for you
|
| Hold on, I’m just putting you through
|
| Hold on, just hold on
|
| Hold on, she’s putting me through
|
| Five thousand miles is a long way from home
|
| And I feel so cold being here on my own
|
| All I need is the sound of your voice
|
| To warm my soul and help me through the night
|
| Hey, what can I do?
|
| I’ve tried to reach you, but I can’t get through
|
| I’ll just try it one more time —
|
| Won’t you please clear the line?
|
| Hey, operator, listen to me please —
|
| I’m begging you on my bended knees
|
| Hold on, I’m trying to put you through
|
| Hold on, I’ll try it again for you
|
| Hold on, I’m putting you through. |
| (Repeat)
|
| She said,"Hold on. I’m getting through to you"
|
| Hold on, I’m getting though to you
|
| Hold on, long way from home
|
| Hold on, I’m here on my own
|
| Hold on, getting through to you |
