IF ALL THE WORLD WERE PAPER
From the film "Little Miss Broadway" (1938)
(Walter Bullock / Harold Spina)

Shirley Temple (Film Soundtrack) - 1938


I can't show how much I love you
In this little face I've got
I don't know how much I love you
But it's an enormous lot

If all the world were paper
And all the seas were ink
I'd write a great big note to you
And tell you what I think
I'd say "I love you dearly"
In letters three miles high
And sign it "Yours sincerely"
Cross my heart and hope to die

If all the stars were diamonds
In golden skies above
They wouldn't be worth that
Without your love
I'd like to write "I love you"
So big that you would blink
If all the world were paper
Yes, and all the seas were ink
