Photo In My Mind

This song was great fun to create. Paul wrote the lyrics and I came up with a melody and guitar chords. Then Paul came up with the awesome piano line, and it was great fun to see the audience reaction when our friends Aodhan and Susanna came up to join us on the cajon and viola.

 

Lyrics:

Open the lenses of this life

What do you see

Blurry landscape

Fuzzy scenery

 

Come closer, adjust your focus

What do you see

Many faces?

All I see is you and me

 

Stop for a second

Take the time

To capture this moment in your mind

 

I will frame this memory like a photo in my mind

I will keep this image so I can remember this all my life

And I won’t forget all the time I spent with you

I will take this photo out and hold it

This snapshot of me and you

 

Time passes

Images fade

Wind and the rain comes

Some things are washed away

 

Memories torn

Right out of my hands

Can these be repaired?

Won’t you help me?

 

Stop for a second

Take the time

To capture this moment in your mind

 

// Chorus //

 

Black and white

Colour that fades

So many memories

 

A collage of moments and scenes

Don’t put them away on a shelf

Look at them everyday

 

// Chorus //
