Jill

lyrics and music by Jose Vaz

Late at night on the telephone
Talking about life and love
Ice cream sundaes and rolling stones
TV movies, and bad jokes

And while we’re alone
we always have each other
and while we’re alone
we’re always together
Just pick up the phone
Your voice helps me through the night
While I’m alone
without you

Everynight, lying by yourself
wishing we could just meet
To see your eyes face to face
Not having to leave each other to sleep

But once upon a time,
sitting at the screen
watching people write to one another
An accidental chat,
turned into a friendship
Girl I’d love to see your smile..

So now I prove my promises
For you I write this song
Late one night all by myself
I’ve been alone for too long

Late at night on the telephone
I don’t feel so alone.
