You′re far
From my heart and my chest

You've gone
For your life and the best

But my soul
My heart is feeling you

And you know
That I still lovin you

I got you in my telephone, telephone, telephone
I got you in my telephone
I got you in my telephone, telephone, telephone
I got you in my telephone

I can′t see ya' everytime I want to
But I can feel you anywhere I am

But my soul
My heart is feeling you
And you know
That I still lovin you

I got you in my telephone, telephone, telephone
I got you in my telephone
I got you in my telephone, telephone, telephone
I got you in my telephone

I got you in my telephone, telephone, telephone
I got you in my telephone

You’re far
You are not near me physically

From my heart and my chest
You are not close to my emotions and my innermost self

You’ve gone
You have left

For your life and the best
You left to pursue your dreams and the things you desire most

But my soul
But my essence, my true self

My heart is feeling you
My emotions are still connected to you

And you know
I am sure

That I still loving you
That I still have feelings for you

I got you in my telephone, telephone, telephone
I have a way to reach you through my phone

I can’t see ya’ everytime I want to
I cannot physically be with you every time I desire

But I can feel you anywhere I am
But I sense your presence and your influence in my life regardless of my physical surroundings
