          Bb 
I had the operator call me back 
                                        Bb 
(Ebm6/Bb) She said my phone was working fine 
I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn 
                                   Bb 
(Emb6/Bb) But, it's 2 a.m. Pacific time 
Eb 
I thought sure she would've called by now 
F 
To tell me all about 
Gm               F        Eb 
That wild and cr azy L.A. scene 
        Bb 
Well, I know my number's in the book

Longing for her long distance call

    Bb 
She always had this distant dream 
                                 Bb

And, ya know whatever's in the cards 
                                 Bb

Eb 
But, that's been too long ago 
F 
Now, I just don't know 
Gm     F                  Eb 
If I'm still part of that dream

If I ever cross her mind at all
