I called her on the phone one day
Hoping she was there
Wondering if I would be known, I started to pray

She answered with a peaceful whisper, "Hello?"
Her voice, like an angel in Heaven, so soft and sweet
I didn't know what to say, didn't know

Faintly, striving to speak
But nothing came out of my mouth
Not even a squeak

Again, she spoke, "Hello?" with nice speech
Her voice, so soothing, it brought much warmth to me
Like a restful day on the beach

Still having said nothing, now feeling eek
She hung up the phone with great ease
With a short sigh, hanging up the phone, feeling so bleak
