1982 Lyrics by Randy Travis

I Told You So (The Ultimate Hits of Randy Travis)

1985

[Verse 1]
Operator, please connect me with 1982
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held onto

[Chorus]
They say hindsight's 20/20, but I'm nearly goin' blind
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same ol' lost love story, it's sad but it's true
There was a time when she was mine in 1982

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Postman, can you sell me a special kind of stamp
One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man
Back into the wasted years of my living past
I need to tell her now I know how long my love will last

[Chorus]
They say hindsight's 20/20, but I'm nearly goin' blind
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same ol' lost love story, it's sad but it's true
There was a time when she was mine in 1982

[Tag]
Losing my mind goin' back in time to 1982
