A long long time ago when we were young and pretty, we ruled the world, we stopped the time, we knew it all, we owned this city Running with the crowd, carefree and proud I heard somebody say Take a picture of this Take a picture of this The years went rushing by, in the twinkling of an eye, we rolled with the changes. Our life we knew was gone, Our friends had all moved on, time rearranges. But on our wedding day, they all came back to say, congratulations Take a picture of this Take a picture of this Then we raised a family of our own, we were so happy baby But now those kids have grown and gone. I gave it everything I had, thru the good times and the bad But now I’m down here on the floor, cause I don’t know you anymore. Yeah that’s a suitcase; yeah that’s a ticket for a plane There’s no one here to talk to, no reason to remain When you spend all your time living in the past With all those pictures that you took, here’s one more for the book Take a picture of this, this is me leaving Take a picture of this, this is me walking away Take a picture of this, take a picture of this Take a picture of this
