Written by Natalie Cole





Hmm, talking on the telephone early in the morning dawn, softly singing in your ear



A song that I wrote last night, it's so very hard my dear, you are there 



And I am here, somehow words I try to say, they just don't seem to sound right



Conversation's getting thin and my patience is too, I gotta go I'll call you when



My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time



In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime



Get my baby on that line, I'm sending love and kisses on the telphone wire



I hope he gets them in time, hmm, hmm, love and kisses across the pacific 



Gonna send them to that baby of mine, yeah, gonna send them to that baby of mine



(How you doing....) Sure do miss ya, I'd like to kiss ya



(What...) What's that you said my dear, this connection's not so clear



But if you said I love you, then you know that I feel the same way



Hope the kids are doing fine, do they still get to school on time



Oh by the way I really miss your face around about supper time



Conversation's gettin thin and my patience is too, gotta go



I'll call you when my show is through, I'm sending love and kisses



On the telephone wire, I hope he gets them in time



Oh, love and kisses across the pacific, gonna send them to that baby of mine



Hmm, gonna send them to that baby of mine



Oh, love and kisses, ooh, ooh, love and kisses
