Pictures

(album: Pictures - 2002)

Look at me, eighteen and tanned,
Behind the wheel of my old van,
"Hotel California" turned up loud,
No air-conditioning, windows down.
Look at you smiling at me,
Don't know when I've been as happy,
As that weekend out in Joshua Tree,
When I got down on my knees.
An' I like looking at old photographs.
Reminds me of the way we've always made each other laugh.

Pictures of a life we've made together.
Memories of a love that just gets better with time.
So many good times,
There's no way I will forget.
They've got me thinking 'bout pictures,
We haven't taken yet.

Next year let's go to Disneyworld,
Can't wait to see our little girl,
Hold hands with Mickey Mouse,
Chocolate ice-cream on her mouth.
An' you'll get all upset when I,
Snap you coming off that ride,
With that pasty white look...
You won't put that one in our book.
An' I like looking back at all the things we've done.
But I love dreaming of the years yet to come.

Pictures of a life we've made together,
Memories of a love that just gets better with time.
So many good times,
There's no way I will forget.
Not now I'm thinking 'bout pictures,
We haven't taken yet.

Someday I'll walk our daughter down the aisle,
And every tear and every smile,
Will be captured in color.....

Pictures of a life we've made together,
Memories of a love that just gets better with time.
So many good times,
There's no way I will forget.
They got us thinking 'bout pictures,
We haven't taken yet.

Can you see us on that front porch swing?
All the joy it's gonna bring,
To hear our grandkids laugh,
As they go thumbing through our past...
