Only a Picture Stops Time lyrics

I look at the pictures of you and I

Taken before your love for me died

And I relive the moments when you were mine

'Cause only a picture stops time

I live in the present and look at the past

I have no future, your love didn't last

But I keep your picture so I won't lose my mind

'Cause only a picture stops time

Each heartbeat reminds me that we're far apart

Though I hold your picture so close to my heart

So I'll have a moment with you now and then

Since you once loved me I know you'll understand

Why I keep your picture, I hope you kept mine

'Cause only a picture stops time
