Lyrics
I started to call you just to say “Hello”
See how you’re doin’
And tell you ‘bout my day
So many times I had my hand on the phone
To dial your number
Only to recall
It’s been 12 years since I had to say goodbye
But they say life’s energy
Just takes a different form
Chorus:
I wish I could place a call to Heaven
Would anyone there receive my call
I just want to leave this message in Heaven
I love you
Thanks for being my mom
I had a dream that I picked up the phone
Your voice so clear
When you said “Hello”
I cried inside the dream before I awoke
My tears remembering
That you were gone
Can you hear me singing?
Can you see all that I’ve done?
Did you bring your memories along?
(Chorus)
Now everyone once in a while
I’ll check the telephone
I’m waiting for your call
