[Verse 1]
We grew up together
With ferris wheels and sunshine laughter
A rainbow love
That lasted after the rain
Mmm mmm mmm

[Verse 2]
And now we're separated
And I've become a lonely runner
And when I rest, I hurt and I wonder
If I'll ever see you again

[Chorus 1]
Echo Valley 2-6809
I used to call that number all the time
But the last time that I called you
We hung up cryin'
Echo Valley 2-6809
I can see it clearly in my mind
But I'm scared to call 'cause it's been
Such a long long time

[Verse 3]
Never been much for writin'
'Cause what do you say to a dream that's dyin'
A fragile lifeline that's untyin', oh no
Whoa, no

[Verse 4]
Now I can't face the sunrise
Lightin' up a road to nowhere
Where you are, I have to go there
Are you waitin'?
I got to know

[Chorus 2]
Echo Valley 2-6809
I gotta call that number one more time
'Cause I've just got to know if you're still mine

[Bridge: Spoken]
Spoken: "Hello, operator? Get me Echo Valley 2-6809"
Operator: "You have reached a disconnected number"

[Outro]
Echo Valley 2-6809
I shoulda called that number
Echo Valley 2-6809
I shoulda called that number
Echo Valley 2-6809
I shoulda called that number
Echo Valley 2-6809
I shoulda called that number

The Partridge Family

The Patridge Family was a band created for the American TV sitcom of the same name.

The band’s fictional lineup includes the characters Shirley Partridge (Shirley Jones), Keith Partridge (David Cassidy), Laurie Patridge (Susan Dey), Danny Partridge (Danny Bonaduce), Chris Partridge (Jeremy Gelbwaks/Brian Forster), and Tracy Partridge (Suzanne Crough). None of the members (Besides Shirley & Cassidy) provided any vocal or musical additions to the band.

From 1970-1973, they released 8 studio albums, 4 of which charted on the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the USA and Canada. Despite this, they are best remembered for their hit singles “I Think I Love You” and “Come On Get Happy!”. (The latter being the theme for the Partridge Family show)
