Lyrics:
Send me a picture
When we were together
And we held the world
In the palm of our hands
When life had a future
Forever and ever
Send me that picture againHow long do you hold on
To dreams that don’t come true
Although you dream them again and again
Well one night I’ll dream
And it won’t be about you
I don’t think so
How long has it beenI write all these words
But you will never see them
Cause I’ll never send them
I’ll just throw them away
Or hide them somewhere
Where no one will find them
So send me that picture todayI used to think time
would make it all better
But I have learned better
As time passed away
And I’ve almost forgotten
What it was that I lived for
So send me that picture todayI write all these words
But you will never see them
Cause I’ll never send them
I’ll just throw them away
Or hide them somewhere
Where no one will find them
So send me that picture todaySend me a picture
When we were together
And we held the world
In the palm of our hands
When life had a future
Forever and ever
Send me that picture again
