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 matinée 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’
