Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Operator, please connect me

With 1982

I need to make apologies

For what I didn't do

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

They say hindsight's 20/20

But I'm nearly going blind

From staring at her photograph

And wishing she was mine

[Verse 4]

It's that same old lost love story

It's sad but it's true

There was a time when she was mine

In 1982

[Verse 5]

Postman, can you sell me

A special kind of stamp?

One to send a letter from

This crazy, lonely man

[Verse 6]

Back into the wasted years

Of my living past

I need to tell her now I know

How long my love will last

[Verse 7]

They say hindsight's 20/20

But I'm nearly going blind

From staring at her photograph

And wishing she was mine

[Verse 8]

It's that same old lost love story

It's sad but it's true

There was a time when she was mine

In 1982

Losing my mind going back in time

To 1982
