Picture Memory

Donna Martin

Picture memory perfect and clear

And what it could do to you and me dear

Recollection an instant replay

Of every move we've ever made



I'll remember you through a soft morning haze

Where the dapples of sun light up our better days

And the sorrow quite gracefully hides in the shade

Lying on damp earth like paper

Oh how memory serves the maker



Picture memory clear as this day

Hiding the truth with no faith in our strength

As if all our pearls weren't each tied with a knot

And if one broke away we would lose the whole lot



Chorus
