Time can’t seem to fade the sparkle in his eyes
Even as the years go by
I still remember that day like it was yesterday
Take my picture dad I’m riding my first bike
A Polaroid to capture the greatest moment of his life
Take my picture we can put it in a frame
Every time we see it we can live this day again
Take my picture
My boy became a man dressed in army green
They grow up so fast I still can’t believe
I still got the papers that sent him off to war
He said freedom was well worth fighting for
We were both so scared and proud and I said
Take my picture when you head out over seas
Every chance you get take it out and talk to me
Take my picture keep it right beside your heart
I will be there with you even though were worlds apart
Take my picture
Then a man came from the army said my son was coming home
His helicopter’s been shot down
I’m sorry but he’s gone
He handed me a folded flag and a plain brown envelope
Inside was Dillon’s photograph and on the back he wrote
Take my picture and hang it on the wall
Tell mom and sis and grandpa how much I miss them all
Take my picture I know we’ll be together soon
No matter where I am I
am always with you
Take my picture
Take my picture
