Camera Lyrics - Crosby Stills Nash

I rode my bike to town today 

Wobbling down the path 

I knew the kids would see me 

I love it when they laugh 

And I wish I were a camera 

And I could slice time like a knife 

Seeing stories in the faces 

And crystallizing life 

Wish I were a camera 

I wish it all the time 

It gives my eyes a reason 

It gives my life a rhyme 

I'd be a lens that could see souls 

A shutter that never shuts 

I'd have film that lasts forever 

I would live in huts

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

In the jungles of South America 

Like my father before the war 

I'd find out where we came from 

And what this life is for 

And I wish I were a camera 

I wish it all the time 

It gives my eyes a reason 

It gives my life a rhyme 

I wish I were a camera 

I wish it all the time 

It gives my eyes a reason 

It gives my life a rhyme 

And I would climb right off this planet 

On the clearest night of all 

And photograph the future 

When it finally comes to call 

I would save up all these images 

These instants in a box 

And when I am old and lonely 

They could cover up the clocks 

And I wish I were a camera 

I wish it all the time 

It gives my eyes a reason 

It gives my life a rhyme 

I wish that I could shoot at night 

And leave without a trace 

And catch my lover's sleeping smile 

By the starlight on her face 

But I think mostly that I'd see children 

'Cause they haven't learned to hide 

And they watch me on my bicycle 

And laugh with me as I ride 

While I ride, while I ride 

While I ride, while I ride ...
