Fathers take pictures of the mothers And sisters take pictures of brothers Just to show that they love one another
CHORUS #1:
You can't picture love that you took from me
When we were young and the world was free
Pictures of things as they used to be
Don't show me no more please
People take pictures of each other Just to prove that they really existed Just to prove that they really existed People take pictures of each other And one moment will last them forever At the time when they mattered to someone
BRIDGE:
Lie na nie na lie na nie na
Lie na nie na na nie nie nie na
Lie na nie na lie na nie na
Lie na nie na na nie nie nie na
na na nie na na na nie na
People take pictures of the summer Just in case someone thought they had missed it Just to prove that it really existed People take pictures of each other And one moment will last them forever At the time when they mattered to someone
CHORUS #2: A picture of me when I was just three Sat with my ma by the old oak tree How I love things as they used to me Don't show me no more please
La la la la la...
