lyrics

I found this old photograph
Of a time I don’t recall
Just an old photograph
of an old dance hall

There’s a band playing in the background
There’s a man wearing a suit
He is dancing, waltzing around
And smiling like he bit into the forbidden fruit

I found this old photograph
Of a place I can’t quite… place
Just an old photograph
Of a life disappeared without a trace

There’s a woman, dressed to the nines
With high heels and stockings and a dress
And if you can read between the lines
She has a lot of sins to confess

But in this old photograph
She is smiling at the scene
Yeah in this old photograph
She might as well be the queen

You can tell that the world is hers to rule
By the slight bend in her neck
Her head is tilted she’s nobody’s fool
Life handed her a blank check

Oh I found this old photograph
Of a life that was never mine
Just an old photograph
Of a sun that would not shine
