I’m on the other line
I can’t talk to you right now
I’ll try to find the time
It got away from me somehow
I sent you cards and letters
I got no reply
Now I’ve got something better
I’ve got one thing left to try

I was making you a valentine
I’ll be yours and you can be all mine
All I’m asking will you be my valentine
Til the end of time

It’s a strange and funny world -
A young man fights an old disease
And children grow and go away
And money doesn’t grow on trees
I tried to talk, but it’s your turn
To be on the other line
There’s words and thoughts inside my head
There’s something on my mind,
There’s something on my mind

I tried to talk to you
