Labi Siffre
Bless the Telephone
[Verse 1]
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
Even wrote a song for you
It's strange, the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I like to do the same for you

[Verse 2]
It's nice to hear you say hello
And "how are things with you—
I love you"
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
While I'm writing songs for you

[Bridge]
Strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone

[Verse 3]
It's nice, the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow, just soft and low
The same as when you tеll me how you feel
I feel the same way, too
I'm in lovе with you
Yes, I am, yes, I am
[Bridge]
Strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone
Bless the telephone
Bless the telephone

[Outro]
Thank you for calling me on the telephone
Bless you and bless the telephone
