Bless the Telephone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
Even wrote a song for you
It's strange, the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
[Verse 2]
It's nice to hear you say "hello"
And "how are things with you -
I love you"
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
While I'm here writing songs for you
[Bridge]
Strange
How a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away
From the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone
[Verse 3]
It's nice, the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow, just soft and low
The same as when you tell me how you feel
I feel the same way too
I'm very much in love with you
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
Even wrote a song for you
It's strange, the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
[Verse 2]
It's nice to hear you say "hello"
And "how are things with you -
I love you"
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
While I'm here writing songs for you
[Bridge]
Strange
How a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away
From the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone
[Verse 3]
It's nice, the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow, just soft and low
The same as when you tell me how you feel
I feel the same way too
I'm very much in love with you
[Outro]
I'm very much in love with you
I'm very much in love with you

Genius Annotation
Bless the Telephone is the 13th song off of Labi Siffre’s 1971 album “The Singer and The Song”. The song consists of what seems to be a conversation between two people through a telephone. They most likely haven’t seen each other in a while and Labi praises the telephone for giving them this opportunity to hear each other. The passionate, simple guitar instrumental gives a romantic idea throughout the song.
