Ring Telephone Ring 1940 The Inkspots

My heart points a finger
at me and says:
"You can't run away from the past:"
My heart points a finger
at me and says:
"It's your fault it all didn't last."
I try to convince myself
I'm happy alone,
But then in the hush of the night,
I say to my 'phone:

I'm lonesome tonight
Ring, telephone, ring
This night has no ending
Help me try to forget
I need her tonight
Ring, telephone, ring
There's no use pretending
Dreams of her linger yet

Like a couple of fools we parted
I vowed I'd never call
Now I'd give my all
To have her with me
But where can she be?

I miss her tonight
Ring, telephone, ring
There's no way of saying
All the joy it would bring
I beg of you, please, please
Ring, telephone, ring...

I'm lonesome tonight
Ring, telephone, ring
This night has no ending
Help me try to forget
I need her tonight
Ring, telephone, ring
There's no use pretending
Dreams of her linger yet

Like a couple of fools we parted
I vowed I'd never call
Now I'd give my all
To have her with me
But where can she be?

I miss her tonight
Ring, telephone, ring
There's no way of saying
All the joy it would bring
I beg of you, please, please
Ring, telephone, ring...
