My Favorite Part of the Day

It begins with the ringing of the phone
My favorite part is when it’s you on the other end
Fifteen minutes is all that we get on most of the days
Fifteen minutes is going to have to do
But even a life time isn’t enough to talk with you

I wait all day for the phone to ring
Because I want to hear your voice more than anything
Sometimes when I let the water run
I think I hear the song of my ringing telephone
But must of the time is only the sound of water

I wait because the phone will ring
Because we both happen to have the same favorite thing
To hold each other through the phone
To turn our love to analog
And laugh together for a while

I’ll keep waiting by the phone
Until the day we build home
And all that I’d need
Would be two tin cans and a foot of string
To tell you that I love you
