Photograph Lyrics - Singles - Richard Julian

The passenger window framed you like a screen 

And deep in my mind I was filming a scene 

Of the land rushing by, your shades and your hat 

I prefer a memory to a photograph 

It was merely a muse, it was in, it was out 

Till I made the mistake of speaking out loud 

You said, I got the camera right here in the back 

Ohh, why'd I have to go and kill a moment like that? 

I prefer the memory to the photograph 

Ooh, memory to a photograph, ooh, ooh 

You know, I sometimes get this little deja vu 

It comes in the dark when I'm lying with you 

And even the salt in the air comes back 

Then I'm open to anything but what you had 

The blur of the land, your shades and your hat 

Ooh, I prefer a memory to a photograph, ooh 

No, the picture we took didn't capture all this 

Just a faraway look, a scene that I missed 

A sign of what was to come, perhaps 

Did you know then that you were showing me that? 

I prefer the memory to the photograph 

One world is round and the other is flat 

Ooh, memory to a photograph, ooh 

Memory to a photograph, ooh
