Picture Perfect Morning Lyrics - Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

I haven't learned to say goodbye 

Hello itself is hard enough 

It kills to let a good thing die 

And I don't want to see it go bad 

Picture perfect morning 

Just before the dawn 

And city lights are dying 

Sing in the cathedral 

Face in the stained glass is crying 

I won't let myself look at you 

And see you like I really do 

It's hard to believe 

That you're really here 

So I just pretend that you're not there 

Picture perfect morning 

Just before the dawn 

And city lights are dying 

Sing in the cathedral 

Face in the stained glass is crying 

Picture perfect morning 

Just before the dawn 

And city lights are dying 

Sing in the cathedral 

Face in the stained glass is crying 

And when my plane flew through the rain 

It shook the wings and people screamed 

But I was so sure that I'd see you again 

I was not afraid of anything
