If I Had a Talking Picture of You lyrics

I talk to your photograph each day

You should hear the lovely things I say

But I thought how happy I would be

If your photograph could talk to me

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’d do

I would give ten shows a day

And a midnight matinee

If I had a talking picture of you

If I had a talking picture of you

I would write a dreamy singsong for you

Oh, to make it oh so grand

But I'm sure you’d understand

Every time I say those three words

"I love you, love you"

Just for once I’d realize my ambition

We’d be all alone without an intermission

Where the censors won’t object

We would kiss with sound effects

If I had a talking picture

Of nobody else but you
