PHOTOGRAPH                                         Melanie Safka
AmDo you have a Ephotograph Amwhen you were still in Ehigh school
Were you Fhappy iGn it
Little rCeason lGots of Frhyme
Were you Dmhappy iGn it at the Amtime
AmWay back in your Ememory
Do Amyou recall the Eline
When your Fheart was Gin it
And your rCeason cGhanged your Fmind
Did you lDmove forGever at the Amtime
AAre you living Dmhere and now
Or iGn the moments Cpast
Is Anow tomorrow's Dmmemory and wGill the memory Clast
How Dmmuch of this will Epass
AmDo you have a Ephotograph when Amyou were only Egrowing
And your Fheart was iGn it
And your Creason cGhanged your Fmind
DmWhen you loved fGorever
AmBut your reason changed your mind
AThe songs that you once Dmloved to sing
Are Gones that make you Ccry
AAnd wouldn't you just gDmive it all to Gnever say Cgoodbye
DmWe once lived in fEorevers
DmBut we learned to say Egoodbye...
AmDo you have a Ephotograph when Amyou were only gErowing
And your hFeart was Gin it
Little Creason Glots of Frhyme
Were you Dmhappy Gin it
But your rCeason Gchanged your Fmind
Did you lDmove fGorever
But your Amreason changed your mind
Were you Fhappy Gin it at the Amtime
AIs what you wanted Dmlong ago Glong gone from your Cmind
AAsks a ghost in Dmdreaming
Or a fGriend you left Cbehind
AThe songs that you once lDmoved to sing
Are the Gones that make you Ccry
And wAouldn't you just Dmgive it all to Gnever say gCoodbye...
AOh goodbye...Dmgoodbye...gGoodbyeC
