Siffre, Labi - Bless The Telephone Lyrics

I always sang this slower so decided to upload a slower version. I know its deliberate, it just seems super fast.

cheers tesco

My nanna is dying of cancer I will miss her wen she's not here any more any problem she's at the end of the phone not sure how long for I love her soo much I had shit parents and she's is my mum

Try to be with her and do things together if it's still possible to do so as much as you can, God bless and stay strong

@MYBIGKINDHEART thankyou I am I treasure every moment we have together we still have time xx

@MYBIGKINDHEART she has stage 3 stomach cancer there is stage 5 so we still have a bit of time xx

@Kayla Clarke nice to hear from you and as bad as this situation is at least you have time together and to possibly do things, I unfortunately lost my Dad very suddenly :( but I really wish you all the best xoxo

My nanna is dying of cancer she was like a mum to me she brought me up as a my parents should have im gonna miss her she has months to livexx

Bless you and your family x

Shame about the advert...

I told my daughter that this song is for her.

Made me cry.

Heartfelt and beautiful , simple ditty that takes your soul to another dimension, if only everyone felt this way about everyone they are supposed to be in love with , I know I feel this way for my daughter and that is enough for me xxxbless the telephone indeed ❤

Anyone got any similar songs to this?

It's so hard to find beautiful music like this.

Utter delight

this song is from 1971 - before we had mobiles with pictures
this poem is from 2015 when someone's name onscreen makes me dance and sing

I think this is in fact the ultimate love song. This is how I would like feel.

Lyrics:
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long, 
Even wrote a song for you
It's strange the way you make me feel.
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you.

It's nice to hear you say hello.
And how are things with you?
I love you.
But very soon it's time to go.
An office job to do
While I'm here writing songs for you.

Strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away, away
From the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone

It's nice the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow
Just soft and low, the same
'Cause when you tell me how you feel
I feel the same way too
I'm very much in love with you.

I'm very much in love with you.

Actually thought this was Paul Simon when I first heard it, it's brilliant!

Cliff Minors Paul Simon is amazing too I can see why you’d think it him

Spot on Cliff I was also convinced it was early folky Paul Simon. Its spot on for him in early 60s and something he would do but it also proves just how flamin good Labi Siffe is and was and still is.

These words can relate to 99% of the world the other 1% are cold heartless people.

From the feeling of being alone

Not very fast or slow
Just soft…

Lurvvvve It!
