PHOTO FINISHES

​

If only my life was a photograph

I could airbrush away things from the past

Those things that were simply not meant to be

Like the day you fell out of love with me

​

Why can't life be made out of celluloid

It would give me the chance to fill the void

That aching hole where my heart used to be

Left empty the day you stopped loving me

​

I'd give anything for a second chance

To clean off the slate and re-dance the dance

And restore things to how they used to be

To the day you first fell in love with me

​

Every night before sleeping now I pray

The clocks will be turned back the next day

That time has stood still allowing things to be

The way they were when you still loved me
