A Faded Picture
(Saxon/Hooper)

Oh, I want to go back

See my baby's face

Oh, I want to go back

To my happy place

That disappeared from view

Such a long, long time ago

It's a faded picture

Hanging on my wall

It's a faded picture

Isn't there at all

It's only there

When I closed my eyes

And started to cry

Over you

It's a faded picture

I can see it

Through colored tears

It's a faded picture

Bringing back

My lost years

It's only there

On rainy days

When tears have dried

And rainbows started to appear

Oh, I want to go back

When I was six years old

Just lying in the grass

Seeing all the clouds

Building castles in the sky

See all the animals go round

And hear music coming

From a merry-go-round

But it's a faded picture

Fade away on me

So hard to see

It's a faded picture

A picture of my childhood

A faded picture

I'd go back if I could

It's only there

When I hear children laugh

Sit and play

On a bright sunny day

All so gay

It's a faded picture

So hard to see

When you're cryin

'It's hard to see

So hard to see

Just like a painting

This feeling is falling

My heart's buried

Right in the ground

A masterpiece

Of hearts that've gone

Lost for all time

Gone from me

My faded picture

So hard, so hard

So hard to see

My faded picture

Fade away from me

I couldn't bring it back

If I had tried

I couldn't bring it back

If I'd died

My faded pictures

Fade away on me

So hard, so hard

So hard, so hard

To see my faded picture

Fade away on me
