Hold the camera still
Capture us this way
With smiles in the sunlight
Eternalize this day
Because when the sun begins to set
And the world returns to sleep
Those smiles melt away
And again I start to weep
Weep for the inevitable loss
Because those pictures never last
And I want to feel loved
Like I did once in the past
Perhaps I missed the sign
Perhaps I missed my chance
Just take this horrid picture
Where we're happy at a glance

Hold the camera still
Capture us this way
With smiles in the sunlight
Eternalize this day
Because when the sun begins to set
And the world returns to sleep
Those smiles melt away
And again I start to weep
Weep for the inevitable loss
Because those pictures never last
And I want to feel loved
Like I did once in the past
Perhaps I missed the sign
Perhaps I missed my chance
Just take this horrid picture
Where we're happy at a glance
