The melody that's calling me
Won't disappear
You are that sweet song that I long to hear
You're my elation
Favorite station
That I'll never change
You are simply, so loud and clear
You are my radio
I've gone headlong for your sweet song harmony
You are that sweet song that I long to hear

Never drop off of
My hit parade
You are simply so loud and clear
You are my radio
Your love is always on the airwaves
And its all for me




You are simply, so loud and clear
You are my radio
