When I get lonely, the sound of other voices
Other rooms are near to me, I'm not afraid

The operator, she tells the time, it's good for a laugh
There's always radio, and for a dime I can talk to God, dial a prayer
Are you there, do you care? Are you there?

 Chorus:
And in the winter, extra blankets for the cold, fix the heater, getting old
I am wiser now, you know, and still as big a fool, concerning you

I met your friend, she's very nice, what can I say?
It was an accident, I never dreamed we'd meet again this way
You're looking well, I'm not afraid

You have a lovely home, just like a picture, no, I live alone
I found it easier, you must remember how I never liked the party life
Up all night, lovely wife, you have a lovely wife

chorus

And in the winter, extra blankets for the cold, fix the heater, getting old
You are with her now, I know, I'll live alone forever, not together now
