Take A Picture Of This Lyrics - Cass County - Don Henley

A long long time ago 

When we were young and pretty 

We ruled the world, we stopped the time, we knew it all, we owned this city 

Running with the crowd, carefree and proud I heard somebody say 

Take a picture of this 

Ooh, take a picture of this 

The years went rushing by, in the twinkling of an eye, we rolled with the changes 

Our life we knew was gone 

Our friends had all moved on, time rearranges 

But on our wedding day, they all came back to say, congratulations 

Take a picture of this 

Ooh, take a picture of this 

Then we raised a family of our own 

We were so happy baby 

But now those kids have grown and gone 

I gave it everything I had 

Through the good times and the bad 

But now I'm down here on the floor 

'Cause I don't know you anymore 

Yeah that's a suitcase, yeah that's a ticket for a plane 

There's no one here to talk to, no reason to remain 

When you spend all your time living in the past 

With all those pictures that you took 

Here's one more for the book 

Take a picture of this, this is me leaving 

Take a picture of this, this is me walking away 

Take a picture of this, take a picture of this 

Take a picture of this
