(James H. Blackmon/Carl J. Vipperman)

Operator Please Connect Me With Nineteen-Eighty Two
I Need To Make Apologies For What I Didn't Do
I Sure Do Need To Tell Her That I Thought The Whole Thing Through
And Now It's Clear That She Is What - I Should Have Held Onto.

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 Old Lost Love Story - It's Sad But It's True
There Was A Time When She Was Mine In Nineteen-Eighty-Two.

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 Old Lost Love Story - It's Sad But It's True
There Was A Time When She Was Mine In Nineteen-Eighty-Two.

Losing My Mind, Going Back In Time - To Nineteen-Eighty Two.
