《The Picture》歌词

[00:02:32] There are pictures on the piano, pictures of the family,

[00:02:32] Mostly my kids but there锛噑 an old

[00:02:32] Picture of you and me.

[00:02:32] You were five and I was six In 1952;

[00:02:32] That was forty years ago, how could it be true?

[00:02:32] We were sitting outside drawing

[00:02:32] At a table meant for cards,

[00:02:32] And it must have been in autumn,

[00:02:32] Falling leaves in the front yard,

[00:02:32] With a shoebox full of crayons,

[00:02:32] Full of colors oh so bright,

[00:02:32] In a picture in a plastic frame,

[00:02:32] A snapshot black and white.

[00:02:32] You were looking at my paper, watching what I drew;

[00:02:32] It was natural: I was older,

[00:02:32] Thirteen months more than you.

[00:02:32] A brother and a sister, a little boy and girl,

[00:02:32] And whoever took that picture

[00:02:32] Captured our own world.

[00:02:32] A brother needs a sister to watch what he can do,

[00:02:32] To protect and to torture, to boss around, it锛噑 true;

[00:02:32] But a brother will defend her

[00:02:32] For a sister锛噑 love is pure,

[00:02:32] Because she thinks he锛噑 wonderful

[00:02:32] When he is not so sure.

[00:02:32] In the picture there锛噑 a fender of our old Chevrolet

[00:02:32] Or Pontiac, our dad would know, surely he could say;

[00:02:32] But dad is dead and we grow old;

[00:02:32] It锛噑 true that time flies by;

[00:02:32] And in forty years the world has changed

[00:02:32] As well as you and I.
