I opened up an old worn book
With pages fading gold
Each photograph a windowpane
To stories left untold
There we were in black and white
Frozen in the sun
I swear I heard the laughter still
From days when we were young
And the more I turn, the more I see
A thousand versions staring back at me
Pictures of us, caught in the light
Moments that lived in the blink of a life
Smiles that never learned to fade
Dreams that time could not erase
Though the years have rolled along
And the melody's moved on
I still find my heart the same
In the pictures of us
There's mum out by the garden gate
Her hair caught by the breeze
Dad's old car parked on the lawn
The summer of '83
My brother's grin, my first bike
A love I used to know—
It's like I'm stepping through the glass
To a world from long ago
The edges fade, but the feeling stays
Like the echo of a brighter day
Pictures of us, caught in the light
Moments that lived in the blink of a life
Smiles that never learned to fade
Dreams that time could not erase
Though the years have rolled along
And the melody's moved on
I still find my heart the same
In the pictures of us
Time moves fast, the pages turn
But memories have their own return
I see the fire in my younger eyes
And feel the dream that never dies
Every frame's a whispered song
Of who we were and where we've gone
Pictures of us, framed in my heart
They remind me where the story starts
The laughter, the tears, the in-between
The love that filled those in-between dreams
Though the world keeps spinning on
And the daylight fades to dawn
We remain forever young
In the pictures of us
