Your Photo.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

I've a picture I keep always near me,
Yes, always near me,
and entre nous,

all the day and the night
I keep holding it tight,

just to cheer me,
for it's you!

And here where all my heart beats true
is our own secret rendezvous!

On my heart I am wearing your photo,
because my heart, dear, is your heart in toto,
and so I hold you pressed upon my longing breast.

But I'll give you this slight intimation;
altho' your photo's a fair illustration,

of tender lips I have known,
and the love that's my own,

still at best it's a chilly imitation.
I think you'd best hurry home.

On my heart I am wearing your photo,
because my heart, dear, is your heart in toto,
and so I hold you pressed upon my longing breast.

But I'll give you this slight intimation;
altho' your photo's a fair illustration,

of tender lips I have known,
and the love that's my own,

still at best it's a chilly imitation.
I think you'd best hurry home.

Tho' you smile back at me when I'm kissing,
when I am kissing your dear lips there;

Tho' the look in your eyes
I can quite recognise,
Something's missing, I declare!

And tho' it be your counterpart,
I cannot love you à la carte!

On my heart I am wearing your photo,
because my heart, dear, is your heart in toto,
and so I hold you pressed upon my longing breast.

But I'll give you this slight intimation;
altho' your photo's a fair illustration,

of tender lips I have known,
and the love that's my own,

still at best it's a chilly imitation.
I think you'd best hurry home.

On my heart I am wearing your photo,
because my heart, dear, is your heart in toto,
and so I hold you pressed upon my longing breast.

But I'll give you this slight intimation;
altho' your photo's a fair illustration,

of tender lips I have known,
and the love that's my own,

still at best it's a chilly imitation.
I think you'd best hurry home.
