My Favorite Picture Of You Lyrics - My Favorite Picture Of You - Guy Clark

My favorite picture of you 

Is the one where you're staring 

Straight into the lens 

It's just a polaroid shot 

Someone took on the spot 

No beginning no end 

It's just a moment in time 

You can't have back 

You never left but your bags were packed 

Just in case 

My favorite picture of you 

Is bent and faded 

And it's pinned to my wall 

Oh and you were so angry 

It's hard to believe 

We were lovers at all 

There's a fire in your eyes 

You've got your heart on your sleeve 

A curse on your lips but all I can see 

Is beautiful 

My favorite picture of you 

Is the one where 

Your wings are showing 

Oh and your arms are crossed 

Your fists are clenched 

Not gone but going 

Just a stand up angel 

Who won't back down 

Nobody's fool, nobody's clown 

You were smarter than that 

My favorite picture of you 

Is the one where 

It hasn't rained yet 

Oh and as I recall 

Came a winter squall 

And we got soaking wet 

It's a thousand words 

In the blink of an eye 

The camera loves you and so do I 

Click 

My favorite picture of you 

Is the one where you're staring 

Straight into the lens
