about

Memories may falter and we all age, but snapshots remain picture perfect

lyrics

Picture Perfect
Curios, pictures in folios, subjects in calm repose
A glimpse of yesterday
Years adorn portraits now creased and torn, images lined and worn
That slowly fade away

Captured in their glory, so innocent it hurts
Each face tells a story of a thousand words
Memories may falter, for time is like a thief
But snapshots never alter such a fine motif
They're picture perfect

Strolls down memory lane were never meant to last
Till one old photograph unlocks the past

I realize something about the eyes, and vaguely recognize
A man I used to know
Strong and pure, eager to strive, endure...ah, but I can't be sure
For that was long ago

When passion was awaking and youth was on our side
The world was for the taking in shades of black and white
Long before the sorrows, forever in his prime
Spared from sad tomorrows and the hands of time
So picture perfect
