[Verse 1] Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer I was taken by a photograph of you There were one or two I know that you Would have liked a little more But they didn't show your spirit quite as true You were turning 'round to see who was behind you And I took your childish laughter by surprise And at the moment that my camera...Learn More
