All I want is a call from you...

All I want is a call from you.

All I want is to hear your laugh
And I'd like to be the cause.
All I want is to hear the smile
In the way your voice tilts.
I want to get lost in conversation
As the room around me fades.

All I want is a call from you.

Lately I've been surrounded by emptiness,
By words with no depth,
And meaningless conversation.
Loneliness rests heavily in my chest,
Even though many surround me
And my days are full.

All I want is a call from you.

Though distance and cities separate us
And life demands our attention
I yearn for a small reprieve.
I know why we must be apart
And I agree with all the reasons,
But I miss you something terrible.

All I want is a call from you.

Let me warm my cold loneliness
In the blanket of your voice.
Let me close my eyes
And imagine us together.
Let our words embrace
Even if our arms cannot.

So please...
All I want is a call from you.
