Verse 1 Operator, please connect me with 1982 I need to make apologies for what I didn't do 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 Chorus They say eyesights's twenty-twenty But I'm nearly goin' blind From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine It's that same ole lost love story It's sad but it's true There was a time when she was mine in 1982 Verse 2 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 (Chorus) Losin' my mind, goin' back in time to 1982
