I use to have your number, <br />At my finger on speed dial. <br />Prepared I was to give you a call, <br />To feel and hear your smile. <br /> <br />I use to have your number, <br />At my finger on speed dial. <br />But high tech had ended that, <br />And I haven't seen you in awhile. <br /> <br />Texting to download, <br />Messages to send... <br />Becomes to complicated to express, <br />When I want to talk with you... <br />And hear your voice I like best. <br /> <br />Texting to download, <br />Posed pictures now called 'selfies'... <br />Just to address, <br />Feelings that aren't spoken... <br />Loses my interest. <br /> <br />I use to have your number, <br />At my finger on speed dial. <br />Prepared I was to give you a call, <br />To feel and hear your smile. <br /> <br />I use to have your number, <br />At my finger on speed dial. <br />But high tech had ended that, <br />And I haven't seen you in awhile. <br /> <br />Confusing is this high tech today we use, <br />If I waited to hear a word from you... <br />I have to 'tweet' your twitter, <br />To then follow too. <br />Only not to know what's meant, <br />Or who it is from just a few letters sent. <br /> <br />I use to have your number, <br />At my finger on speed dial. <br />Prepared I was to give you a call, <br />To feel and hear your smile. <br /> <br />I use to have your number, <br />At my finger on speed dial. <br />But high tech had ended that, <br />And I haven't seen you in awhile. <br /> <br />'Hello.' <br /> <br />Yes... <br />Hello. <br /> <br />'Why so formal? <br />You don't know who this is? ' <br /> <br />I'm sorry. <br />But... <br />No. I don't. <br />Is this a bill collector? <br />Are you real? <br />Or is this a recording? <br /> <br />'Comeon... <br />You should have caller ID? ' <br /> <br />Oh? <br />Where would I find that? <br />Is that on my rotary? <br />Wait... <br />I can punch that in on my land line, right? <br />I just got a new telephone. <br /> <br />'Your what? <br />A new who? <br />What is that?
