A picture's worth a thousand words,
a picture that hangs up on a wall so bold,
is worth the fond memories, than the price of the frame, so I'm told.

At prom, no, even before that,
everyone was rushing this way, that way...
here...and there.
The dresses must be perfect, the suits all hemmed, work must be done,
even to the hair.

Silly people.

They were all getting ready, for the up and coming prom,
it seemed so dull,
but it came only once, to dress up was...wonderful.

So the day came, bells did toll,
hip hip hooray, we've made it to the goal.
The day was pleasant, at least enough to see,
the joys and smiles on the faces, of every-body.

The class of the year, has now gone their separate ways,
to take the pictures they needed to,
with out any further delays.

Ah the exuberance of youth,
the wiles and wonder of the able young bodies and spirits,
how I long for another day to be such again,
(ha old man, you're only yet so young my good man).

As I stood by the piers, the docks, the hills, the creeks and bends,
all I heard was laughter all around, and happy tears,
on one another's shoulders, the couples' heads depends.
Ah yes, I was happy for them.
Still am.

Ah their smiles,
I"ll never forget them now,
how they stood there watching each other,
like everything else, but, they didn't know how.
They lost their breath, they stood silent and trying to make a moment last forever,
Each of them just wanting,
a few more moments like this,
together.
