Greatest #1 Hits lyrics

Verse 1
Operator, please connect me with 1982
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to

Chorus
They say eyesights's twenty-twenty
But I'm nearly goin' blind
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine

Well last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it til four
Then I read some old love letters right up til the break of dawn
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones
I'm a diggin up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone

====================================================================
=====
Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it till four
I read some old love letters right up till the break of dawn
Yeah, I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones
Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings

You've been too gone,for too long,
it's too late to come back now
It's been so long since you walked out my door
now you're just an old song nobody sings anymore
I gotta a new love and she's the true love
but darlin' how could you have known?
you've been too gone, for too long
now it's too late to come back home

You've came a long way, goin' the wrong way

Verse 1
Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell my that you love me too
And would we cry together

Well I've heard those city singers singin' 'bout how they can love,
Deeper than the oceans, higher than the stars above.
Well, I come from the country, and I know I ain't seen it all.
But I heard that ocean's salty, and the stars, they sometimes fall.
And that would not do justice to the way I feel for you.
So I had to sing this song about all the things I knew.

Someday, Someway You'll realise that you've been blind
Yes Darling, you're going to need me again
It's just a matter of time
Go on, go on Til you reach the end of the line
Cause I know you'll pass my way again
It's just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had

You laughed and you called me a clown
Remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down

Since the day I was led to temptation
And in weakess did let your love down
I have prayed that with time and compassion
You'd come -- around
And I keep waiting for you to forgive me
You keep saying you can't even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
