it's late at night
you call me on the telephone
we talk for a while
about ordinary things
like the weather
then I ask you about your day
I wonder how you've been
and you ask me the same
I usually tell you some bad jokes
that make you laugh
and I smile while wondering
when I'll get to hold you in my arms

it's dark outside
you're lying in your bed
and I'm lying in mine
you're quiet now
and I guess that I am too

I can hear you breathing
in the telephone
and I ask you what you're thinking
you answer is
nothing
but I'm no fool
I know you're hurting
baby I know you've been crying
and it's tearing my heart apart
'cause I feel so helpless
on the other end of your telephone

you know that I'd do anything
to make you happy
I want to hold you
when you're feeling sad and lonely
I want to be there by your side
to dry your tears
when they're falling down from your green eyes
I want to kiss your lips softly
and paint a happy smile on your face

I tell you
that I care about you a lot
and you say that you care about me too
I try my hardest
I do my best
to comfort you
and you say that I do

then we say good night
and hang up the telephone
you're going to sleep
but I'm still awake
dreaming of you

wishing that I could sleep by your side
with you in my arms
and whisper in your ear
that everything is going to be alright
that I'll be there protecting you
from all the pain
you've been keeping inside

I promise that I'll make it all go away
my angel
I'll mend your broken wings
with my love
