I ain't got much to go on
Just a box of photographs
But every picture tells us story
But every story has two halves
I keep on separate
And before and after past
And somewhere in the middle is where mama lost her smile
Somewhere in the summer
Back in 1982
Daddy took a job in town
And we all had a moon
I feel like there's one missing
I felt it for a while
One is gonna tell me how mama lost her smile
But you don't take pictures of the bad times
We only want to remember
All the sunshine
You don't live in pictures
This is real life
And there above is different
As black and white
I don't know why it matters
I just know it does
It's not like you to change things
To find out what it was
She would never tell us
About just things her stopped
But I wish I knew the reason why mama lost her smile
But you don't take pictures of the bad times
We only want to remember
All the sunshine
You don't live in pictures
This is real life
And there above is different
As black and white
We are all a little older
We are all a little warned
We are all a little faded
We are all a little torn
But you don't take pictures of the bad times
We only want to remember
All the sunshine
We don't live in pictures
This is real life
And there above is different
As black and white
I ain't got much to go on
Just a box of photographs
But every picture tells us story
And every story has two halves
