The two phone calls that meant the most to me
One was filled with joy, the other filled with misery
Now I never shall forget when she called and said
Daughter, your daddy's coming home
I was so happy, I can't explain
Oh no, I was finally gone to see our baby again
Oh yeah
Now we were together, all those calls would ring
Oh yeah
And we were as happy as any loving couple could be
Uh huh
They say time don't pass fast enough
But time passes much too fast
And on our wedding day
I was so happy
Wedding bells rang
I was just saying
In less than two hours, I would be a man's great man
Oh yeah
I was almost dressed when I heard the telephone ring
Uh huh
Oh boy, say, this is the doctor
Do you know what I need?
Oh Lord, I, I couldn't get down there fast enough
And when I opened the door, Lord, Lord, she didn't know
And there I'd leave
With tears in her eyes
Oh, but why?
And the first message
She said, Lord, I love you
But I must leave
Goodbye
