Lyrics:

"Good evening, this is the intergalactic operator, can I help you?"

"Yes, I'm trying to reach flight commander P. R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7"

"Very well, hold on, please, you're through"

"Thank you, operator"

Hi, darlin', how are you doing?

Hey, baby, where're you sleeping?

Oh, I'm sorry, but I've been really missing you

Hi, darlin', how's the weather?

Say, baby, is that cold better now?

Oh, I'm sorry, is there someone there with you?

Oh, since you went away, there's nothing goin' right

I just can't sleep alone at night

I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend

Or it's the end

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon

Here in the night, I just hope and pray that soon

Oh, baby, you'll hurry home to me

Hi, darlin', the kids say they love you

Hey, baby, is everything fine with you?

Please forgive me, but I'm trying not to cry

Oh, I've had a million different offers on the phone

But I just stayed right here at home

I don't think that I can take it anymore

This crazy war

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon

Here in the night, I just hope and pray that soon

Oh, darling, you'll hurry home to me

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation"

"But we are experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteroid belt at this time"

"We may lose this valuable, deep space communication link"

"Please, be as brief as possible"

"Thank you"

Oh, since you went away, there's nothing goin' right

I just can't sleep alone at night

I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend

Or it's, it's

"Hello? Hello, operator?"

"Yes, it seems that we've lost the connection, could you try again please?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we have lost contact with Mars 2-4-7 at this time"

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon (ok, well thank you very much)

Here in the night, I just hope and pray that soon (I'll, I'll try again next year)

Oh, baby, you'll hurry home to me (next year, next year, next year)

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon (next year)

Here in the night, I just hope and pray that soon (this is the intergalactic operator...)

Oh, darling, you'll hurry home to me (this is the intergalactic operator...)

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon

Here in the night, I just hope and pray that soon

Oh, baby, you'll hurry home to me

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon

Here in the night, I just hope and pray that soon

Oh, baby, you'll hurry home to me

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon

Here in the night, I just hope and pray that soon

Oh, darling, you'll hurry home to me
