Faded Photographs - Von Hertzen Brothers

Somewhere

Under your everyday restraint

Hides a faint

Echo of laughter

From the hereafter

From an existence known to be true

A voice is warning you

Don’t let your future repeat your past

Away with your faded photographs

They’re colors on paper that won’t last

Someday

You’ll see the truth in it

And though your life goes on

Like a story

Or a movie

You’re acting the scenes like one with no clue

Of what lies in store for you

Just don’t let your future repeat your past

Away with your faded photographs

They’re colors on paper that won’t last

Don’t let your future repeat your past

Away with your faded photographs

They’re colors on paper that won’t last

Like the wind you can expand yourself to be free

Like the waves you’ll understand that you are the sea

Don’t let your future repeat your past

Away with your faded photographs

'Cause even the treasured ones won’t last

Don’t let your future repeat your past

Away with your faded photographs

They’re colors on paper that won’t last

The life in your faded photographs

Is color on paper that won’t last

The life in your faded photographs

Has colors on paper that won’t last
