Intro

 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've thought the whole thing through

 And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to

Chorus

 They say hind sights twenty, twenty

 But I'm nearly going blind

 From staring 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 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

repeat chorus:

Losing my mind going back in time

 Two nineteen eighty two
