Weeknight Lyrics


Photographs and Memories
by Jim Croce


Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you

Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldnt say good-bye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived

Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just cant be true
Thats all Ive left of you

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then


As human beings, it's comforting to look fondly on the past. Funny, to remember that the bluest sky is but nature's illusion against the blackest vacuum of space. From a distance, deceptively beautiful yet no less lacking in every essential for life.
