Classic Poem

VERSE 1

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.

REFRAIN

If I had a talking picture of you-oo,
I would run it ev'ry time I felt blue-oo.
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-oo,
We would talk the whole thing over, we two-oo,
I would give ten shows a day,
And a midnight matinee,
If I had a talking picture of you.

VERSE 2

All I have to keep me company
Is the photograph you gave to me.
I propose a thousand plans, but oh,
It don't answer " Yes " or even " No. "
