Dm9I talk to your G6photograph each Cday Dm9You should hear the G6lovely things I A7say F9But I thought how Fmhappy I would Cmaj7be AmIf your photoDgraph could talk to Gme. G+
[CHORUS]
If I Chad a talking picture of Gyou, I would G7run it every time I felt Cblue. I would A7sit there in the gloom of my Dmlonely little room And appD9laud each time you whispered, "I Glove you; G+love you." On the Cscreen the moment you came in Gview We would G7talk the whole thing over, we Etwo. I would Amgive ten shows a day, and a midnight matinée, If I Dmhad a talking G7picture of Cyou.
[VERSE 2]
Dm9All I have to G6keep me compaCny Dm9Is the photoG6graph you gave to A7me F9I propose a Fmthousand plans but Cmaj7oh AmIt don't answer 'DYes' or even 'GNo'
