Operator
Oh, could you help me place this call?
You see the number on the matchbook
Is old and faded
She's livin' in L. A
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well
And sometimes hated
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em
I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
Operator
Oh. Could you help me place this call?
'Cause I can't read the number
That you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about the love
That I thought would save me
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em
I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
No, no, no, no
That's not the way it feels
Operator
Oh, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em
I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

@rambo Jim Croce songs remind me of my childhood riding along next to my mom in the car, singing along.
