A candle flickers in a window

two thousand miles away she waits there
there's a young man thinking by a window
how was she to know just how much he cared
he always knew just what he could do
he always knew that his dream would come true

Alexander Graham Bell
well he knew
darned well that he could find
the only way to talk across the USA
telephone
telephone never be on your own
many many years ago

He started something with his first "Hello hello"
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham
Alexander Graham
Alexander Graham Bell
Ah
ah
ah

The sun rises early in the morning
millions of people still unaware
of something he discovered without warning
so he could show a girl just how much he cared

He always knew just what he could do
