Lyrics:
I ain't got much to go onJust a box of photographsAnd every picture tells a storyBut every story has two halvesI keep 'em separateIn before-and-after pilesSomewhere in the middleIs where mama lost her smileSomewhere in the summerBack in 1982Daddy took a job in townAnd we all had to moveI feel like there's one missingI've felt it for a whileOne that's gonna tell meHow mama lost her smileBut you don't take picturesOf the bad timesWe only wanna rememberAll the sunshineWe don't live in picturesThis is real lifeAnd they're about as differentAs black and whiteI don't know why it mattersI just know it doesIt's not like it'll change thingsTo find out what it wasShe would never tell usThat just ain't her styleBut I wish I knew the reason whyMama lost her smileBut you don't take picturesOf the bad timesWe only wanna rememberAll the sunshineWe don't live in picturesThis is real lifeAnd they're about as differentAs black and whiteWe're all a little olderAnd we're all a little wornWe're all a little fadedAnd we're all a little tornBut you don't take picturesOf the bad timesWe only wanna rememberAll the sunshineWe don't live in picturesThis is real lifeAnd they're about as differentAs black and whiteI ain't got much to go onJust a box of photographsEvery picture tells a storyAnd every story has two halves
