Talk to me, talk to me
Darling I love the things you say
Talk to me, talk to me
In your own sweet gentle way
Let me hear, tell me dear
Tell me you, you love me so
Talk to me, talk to me
Tell me what I want to know
The many ways you speak of love I've heard before
It sounds so good every time
Please say the part I love just once more
Darling I'm so glad your mine
Talk to me, talk to me
Hold me close whisper low
Talk to me darling can't you see

Talk to me darling can't you see 
Baby I, I love you so
Talk to me, talk to me
Darling I, I love you so
