1982 (Live 1986)

Operator, please connect me with 1982
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to

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 ol' lost love story
It's sad but its true
There was a time when she was mine in 1982

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 ol' lost love story
It's sad but its true
There was a time when she was mine in 1982

Losing my mind, going back in time to 1982
