Lyrics:
Intro (4 Bars)Operator, please connect me with 1982I need to make apologies for what I didn't doI sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing throughAnd now it's clear that she is what I should have held on toThey say hindsight's twenty-twenty but I'm nearly goin' blindFrom starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mineIt's that same old lost love story, it's sad but it's trueThere was a time when she was mine in 1982Bridge (4 Bars)Mister Postman can you sell me a special kind of stamp?One to send a letter from this crazy lonely mannow back into the wasted years of my living pastI need to tell her now I know how long my love will lastThey say hindsight's twenty-twenty but I'm nearly goin' blindFrom starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mineIt's that same old lost love story, it's sad but it's trueThere was a time when she was mine in 1982Losin' my mind, goin' back in time to 1982
