David F. R. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said good bye when I leff to your answering machine.
Then you jumped in a plane
Girl
You know what I mean.
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah - pick up the phone
Oh please
I need your voice again
Hearing your voice again.
Waiting so many years
Feeling closer to you -
Not a sign not a trace
Baby
What can I do?
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah - pick up the phone
Oh please
. . .
Pick up the phone
Let me know - I don't want to lose you
Girl.
Don't hang up
Get in touch
Fill the shadow in my life.
Oh what you're doing now? Inter communication via satellite -
You can call me long distance
Whatever you like.
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah - pick up the phone
Oh please
. . .
Pick up the phone
Let me know . ..
Oh what you're doing now
Can't we straighten it out
Won't you speak your heart?
Pick up the phone
Let me know -
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah -
Pick up the phone oh please . . .
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah -
Pick up thelephone




Oh please ...
Oh please ...

Моя самая любимая песня. Могу слушать её бесконечно и она никогда не надоест. Как я рада , что родилась в золотую эпоху советского времени в далёком 1976 году, у нас было замечательное детство, очень хорошие песни под которые мы танцевали и подпевали,фильмы, советские мультфильмы. К сожалению сейчас этого нет,но зато остались добрые воспоминания и ностальгия. Хочется пожелать крепкого здоровья любимому певцу.😍🎸
