Lyrics Photographs - Janis Ian

Photographs

Photographs of long ago
The colors fade, the wrinkles show
I loved you then.
I love you still
I guess I always will
Aging hearts and shaking knees
Aching parts still bend with ease
I loved you young, and age improves
The song I feel for you
You grow more beautiful
Each passing day
The lines that time withstood
You grow more beautiful
I hate to say «I told you so»
But I knew you would
Close the light, still the flames
Candles light the empty frames
A photograph can never be
The song you are to me
