Don Henley — Take A Picture Of This

A long long time ago When we were young and pretty We ruled the world We stopped the time We knew it all We owned this city Running with the crowd Carefree and proud I heard somebody say Take a picture of this Take a picture of this The years went rushing by In the twinkling of an eye We rolled with the changes Our life we knew was gone Our friends had all moved on Time rearranges But on our wedding day They all came back to say Congratulations Take a picture of this Take a picture of this Then we raised a family of our own We were so happy, baby But now the kids have grown and gone I gave it everything I had Through the good times and the bad But now I’m down here on the floor Cause I don’t know you anymore Yeah, that’s a suitcase Yeah, that’s a ticket for a plane There’s no one here to talk to No reason to remain When you spend all your time living in the past With all those pictures that you took Here’s one more for the book Take a picture of this, this is me leaving Take a picture of this, this is me walking away Take a picture of this, take a picture of this Take a picture of this
