I had a lover, but haven't we all

He had to leave so sometimes I'd call

I was lost and living in the real world

I'd call.

Satellites are blinking all through the night

Wishes like this don't seem right

Rising and falling as I make my request

Hello, operator, can I make this collect.

Higher and higher, burns the fire

Love's lost on the telephone wire

Too high to reach, too hot to hold

Wishing on telstar, should've been told.

Person to person, looking for affection

Do I just break through or do I have to wait

(Person to person) it sure hurts when you get away

My long distance lover, can I make you stay.

Higher and higher, burns the fire

Love's lost on the telephone wire

Too high to reach, too hot to hold

Wishing on telstar, should've been told.

Hello? Operator?

Hello, hello. Operator?

Hello, hello? Hello, hello?

Wishing on telstar

Should've been, should've been

Wishing on telstar

Should've been told.

Higher and higher, burns the fire

Love's lost on the telephone wire

Too high to reach, too hot to hold

Wishing on telstar, should've been told.

Wishing on telstar (hello, operator?)

Should've been told (hello, hello, operator?)

Wishing on, wishing on telstar (operator?)

Should've been told

Wishing on telstar.

Hello? Operator?

Hello?
