Take A Picture Of This Lyrics & Chords By Don Henley

A long long time ago
when we were young and pretty,
we ruled the world, we stopped the time, we knew it all, we owned this city
Running with the crowd, carefree and proud I heard somebody say

Take a picture of this
Take a picture of this

The years went rushing by, in the twinkling of an eye, we rolled with the changes.
Our life we knew was gone,
Our friends had all moved on, time rearranges.
But on our wedding day, they all came back to say, congratulations

Take a picture of this
Take a picture of this

Then we raised a family of our own,
we were so happy baby
But now those kids have grown and gone.

I gave it everything I had, thru the good times and the bad
But now I’m down here on the floor, cause I don’t know you anymore.

Yeah that’s a suitcase; yeah that’s a ticket for a plane
There’s no one here to talk to, no reason to remain
When you spend all your time living in the past
With all those pictures that you took,
here’s one more for the book

Take a picture of this, this is me leaving
Take a picture of this, this is me walking away
Take a picture of this, take a picture of this
Take a picture of this
