Lyrics:

(James H. Blackmon/carl J. Vipperman)

operator Please Connect Me With Nineteen-Eighty Two
i Need To Make Apologies For What I Didn't Do
i Sure Do Need To Tell Her That I Thought The Whole Thing Through
and Now It's Clear That She Is What - I Should Have Held Onto.

they Say Hindsight's 20-20 But I'm Nearly Goin' Blind
from Starin' At Her Photograph And Wishing She Was Mine
it's That Same Old Lost Love Story - It's Sad But It's True
there Was A Time When She Was Mine In Nineteen-Eighty-Two.

postman Can You Sell Me - A Special Kind Of Stamp
one To Send A Letter From This Crazy Lonely Man
back Into The Wasted Years Of My Living Past
i Need To Tell Her, Now I Know - How Long My Love Will Last.

they Say Hindsight's 20-20 But I'm Nearly Goin' Blind
from Starin' At Her Photograph And Wishing She Was Mine
it's That Same Old Lost Love Story - It's Sad But It's True
there Was A Time When She Was Mine In Nineteen-Eighty-Two.

losing My Mind, Going Back In Time - To Nineteen-Eighty Two.
