He picked up the phone and pretended.

He picked up the phone and pretended that his old love she was there

And then he told her just how much he still loved her so

And he even said do you still remember that very first day that we met

In all those years now oh so long ago

And he said do you still recall when falling in love it meant walking tall

And how always together that's where we were side by side

And can you still remember that lovers tiff in mid-December

And how then together we both cried and we cried.

Yes sweetheart he whispered while holding the phone

And while still pretending that he was not alone

That all our love its still as special just like it always used to be

And although he knew she was not really there

He just had to believe that she still cared

For just those long memories become his every need

And although he knew she now loved that someone new

He just had to pretend to hear those words of I love you

And to make a promise when the hurting stops he would call around

And just maybe at that time-he will be there on her mind

Just waiting for him to finally take you homeward bound.........

Well with no more words that he could now say

He whispered I will let you go on your way

But before you go here is all my love that I am sending to you

And although he knew she was not really there

He just had to believe that she still cared

For who else now had he to whisper I love you too.
