Take A Picture Of This - Don Henley

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
