As recorded by RUTH ETTING
with Gus Arnheim & His Orchestra:

I haven't heard a word from you 
Snce the day we parted
Since the day you said, "We're through"
I haven't done a single thing 
Since the day we parted
I only breathe and make believe

Talkin' to myself
Talkin' to myself
Ev'ry night I tell you how much I adore you
But I'm talkin' to myself

You're so far away
I've so much to say
Ev'ry night I keep repeating, "Dear, I love you"
But I'm talkin' to myself

I tell each little daisy
All about the things we planned
Say, my friends all think that I'm crazy
Ah, but they don't understand

Mmm-mmm, talkin' to myself
Mmm-mmm-mmm, talkin' to myself
Ev'ry night I tell you how much I adore you
But I'm talkin' to myself
