Pictures to Prove It

Lucky us we live
In this place full of miracles
And with our keen sense of wonder
We try to make sense of it

But in wrapping your head around
All the things there are to see
We're taking pictures to remind us
Of where we once had been

I don't have pictures to prove it
Yet I'll never lose this
Memory engraved in my mind

I don't have pictures to prove it
Yet I'll never lose this
Until the end of time

Memories last longer
All our pictures will one day fade
Cultivating the mind
To be the storage for all our days

So when I'm over the hill
I'm begging that I may keep
All the pictures in my mind
On my way to eternity

They say a picture paints a thousand words
But it can also be deceiving
All the subtle shades that I make out
Are up for interpretation

So if you share one of yours with me
I'd actually prefer
You use your own words
To paint the picture
