Every once in awhile
When I’m feeling down and low
I call your old phone number
In hopes that heaven reconnects your phone
My heart hurts a little more each time
The operator answers

I’m gonna keep calling just in case
You ever decide to pick up the phone

Oh sweet lady
Where have you gone?
I need your comforting words
And your careless laugh

Times are getting harder
I need your advice
Something mom and dad wouldn’t understand
There’s so much more that I wanted you to see
I’ve come this far in life

Damn it hurts so much
I really wish that you were still here with me

Please pick up the phone
Life would be so much easier if you had a answering machine
I would leave you my new number
And say ‘come on grandma look at the new me’
Never want to stop hoping.
