I guess we'd hit the town
You could see we were a sight
We were taken up and taken down
Until we saw the light
There's no use in denying
We were pretty black and blue
The expression on your face says
Hey man what can you do
But then
No one
Could tell
You know you wore it well
I'm pretty sure that camera
Tried to steal our soul
Were we really so elusive
Were we on a roll
Rolling in the starlight
It was everything we dreamed
Only later do we find
It was nothing like it seemed
How are we to know
We never would let go
A moment now passed
Some beauty it had
Somehow still lasts
A photograph
If you look at it closely
Here's what you will find
A boy who loses way
And a girl who will not mind
Would anyone have guessed
We'd fall in love
Even more, never last
How are we to know
We never would let go
Time that flew fast
A strange light now cast
Is captured at last
A photograph
