Lyrics:

I had a lover, but haven't we all He had to leave so sometimes I'd call I was lost and living in the real world I'd call. Satellites are blinking all through the night Wishes like this don't seem right Rising and falling as I make my request Hello, operator, can I make this collect. Higher and higher, burns the fire Love's lost on the telephone wire Too high to reach, too hot to hold Wishing on telstar, should've been told. Person to person, looking for affection Do I just break through or do I have to wait (Person to person) it sure hurts when you get away My long distance lover, can I make you stay. Higher and higher, burns the fire Love's lost on the telephone wire Too high to reach, too hot to hold Wishing on telstar, should've been told. Hello? Operator? Hello, hello. Operator? Hello, hello? Hello, hello? Wishing on telstar Should've been, should've been Wishing on telstar Should've been told. Higher and higher, burns the fire Love's lost on the telephone wire Too high to reach, too hot to hold Wishing on telstar, should've been told. Wishing on telstar (hello, operator?) Should've been told (hello, hello, operator?) Wishing on, wishing on telstar (operator?) Should've been told Wishing on telstar. Hello? Operator? Hello?
