Talking Book

unknown

I wish i had a talking book
That told me how to act & look
A talking book that contained keys
To past & present memories

A talking book that said your name
So if you were gone, you'd still remain
More than a picture on a shelf
In imagination i could touch

A talking, talking book

I wish i had a talking book
Filled with buttons you could push
Containing looks & sights, your touch
Your feel, your breath, your sounds, your sighs

How much i'd bluster to ask it why
One must live & one must die

I wish i had a talking book
By my side so i could look
And touch & feel & dream, a look
Much bigger than a talking book
A taste of loving future & past
Is that so much to really ask
In this one moment's time & space
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book

Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love ever, forever be replaced
Can our love ever be replaced

Can our love ever be replaced
(can our love really be replaced)
By a talking book
