Hmm, talking on the telephone early in the morning dawn, softly singing in your ear

A song that i wrote last night, it's so very hard my dear, you are there

And i am here, somehow words i try to say, they just don't seem to sound right

Conversation's getting thin and my patience is too, i gotta go i'll call you when

My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time

In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime

Get my baby on that line, i'm sending love and kisses on the telphone wire

I hope he gets them in time, hmm, hmm, love and kisses across the pacific

Gonna send them to that baby of mine, yeah, gonna send them to that baby of mine

(how you doing....) sure do miss ya, i'd like to kiss ya

(what...) what's that you said my dear, this connection's not so clear

But if you said i love you, then you know that i feel the same way

Hope the kids are doing fine, do they still get to school on time

Oh by the way i really miss your face around about supper time

Conversation's gettin thin and my patience is too, gotta go

I'll call you when my show is through, i'm sending love and kisses

On the telephone wire, i hope he gets them in time

Oh, love and kisses across the pacific, gonna send them to that baby of mine

Hmm, gonna send them to that baby of mine

Oh, love and kisses, ooh, ooh, love and kisses
