Looking Through the Photos
In the beginning when we were young and love was in the air…
I looked through the photos, and I see that I was there…
The pain that you lived through with each child you did bare,
And I looked through the photos, I see that I was there…
Your life is all your children and the love for them you share,
And now I look through the photos, I see that I’m not there…
My life was all about you my love and that’s all that I did care,
And now I look through the photos, I see that I’m not there…
I tell you that you’re beautiful, even the gray in your hair,
And now I look through the photos, I see that I’m not there…
The only time I see myself is with the ones you pair…
And now I look through the photos, I see that I’m not there…
And when I die don’t take my picture because I wont be here or care…
And when you look through the photos, you’ll see that I’m not there…
