- Verse:
- I talk to your photograph
each day,
- You should hear the lovely
things I say.
- But I've thought how happy
I would be,
- If your photograph could
talk to me.
-
- Chorus:
- If I had a talking picture
of you,
I would run it every time I felt blue.
I would sit there in the gloom, of my lonely little room,
And applaud each time you whispered, "I love you! Love you!"
- On the screen the moment
you came in view,
We would talk the whole thing over, we two.
I would give ten shows a day, And a midnight matinee,
If I had a talking picture of you.
