Ring Me Up, Old Friend, It's Been Too Long

Lyrics

I found your number in my book
Written in pencil, faint
Underneath a coffee ring
And a doodle, rather quaint
My thumb is hovering in the air
My heart is tapping slow
Will you pick up, will you say hello
Or let the telephone go

Ring me up, old friend, it's been too long
Let's sing the same old song
No need to say where we have been
Just say you're glad I rang
Ring me up, old friend, it's been too long
The line is warm, the night is young
Ten years or ten days, who's counting
We pick up where we left off

I'll ask about your mother's garden
You'll ask about my cat
We'll laugh about that summer
And the silly yellow hat
I never stopped believing
That we were more than that
A friendship doesn't vanish
It just waits upon the mat

Ring me up, old friend, it's been too long
Let's sing the same old song
No need to say where we have been
Just say you're glad I rang
Ring me up, old friend, it's been too long
The line is warm, the night is young
Ten years or ten days, who's counting
We pick up where we left off

One ring, two rings
Then I hear your voice
Oh, it's you, it's really you
And my heart says rejoice

Ring me up, old friend, it's been too long
Let's sing the same old song
No need to say where we have been
Just say you're glad I rang
Ring me up, old friend, it's been too long
The line is warm, the night is young
Ten years or ten days, who's counting
We pick up where we left off

Ring me up
Ring me up
Hello, old friend
