Checked in tonight, when I noticed the red light.
Picked up the phone and I called the operator -
She said a lady left a name and a number.
Hey, operator, don´t you think you could connect me?

I´ve been waiting for so long for her to call me.

Hold on, I´ll try to put you through,
Just hold on, I´ll try it again for you,
Hold on, I´m just putting you through.

I turned down the lights,
I sat back and waited for an answer.
Hope everything´s all right -
I wonder why she called and what she had to tell me.
Hey, lady, are you sure this number´s right?
I tried all day and I tried all night. Oh, no.

Hold on, I´m trying to put you through,
Hold on, I´ll try it again for you,
Hold on, I´m just putting you through.

Hold on, just hold on,
Hold on, she´s putting me through.

Five thousand miles is a long way from home
And I feel so cold being here on my own.
All I need is the sound of your voice
To warm my soul and help me through the night.

Hey, what can I do?
I´ve tried to reach you, but I can´t get through.
I´ll just try it one more time -
Won´t you please clear the line?
Hey, operator, listen to me please -
I´m begging you on my bended knees.

Hold on, I´m trying to put you through,
Hold on, I´ll try it again for you,
Hold on, I´m putting you through. (Repeat)

She said,"Hold on. I´m getting through to you".

Hold on, I´m getting though to you.
Hold on, long way from home.
Hold on, I´m here on my own.
Hold on, getting through to you.
