    It's sappy. It's an overused, hackneyed image. But I still like it ANYWAY!

    Story Behind the Song
    You got it: All I had of this girl I was nuts about was this Polaroid (for all of the 10 hours or so before I saw her again), and though there had been some 38,000 songs already written about this very situation, there had been none by ME! I couldn't get a rhythm guitar or keyboard sound I liked, so I did harmony backing vox instead, which were pretty simple but I like how they turned out. It's from way back in 1996, and I wouldn't be foisting it on you if I didn't think it was pretty cool.
    This girl "liked" my music, but only wanted me to write songs about HER, which is a difficult situation because one must only write happy songs about current relationships if one wishes to continue in that relationship. The lyrics thus are a tad on the trite side, but occasionally that doesn't seem to be a handicap.

    Lyrics
    I've got a picture of you
    And it sends me around the world
    Whenever I look at you
    My heart takes wing like a bird
    Sends me around and around my life
    Sends me around and around this earth
    I've got a picture of you
    For what it's worth.

    I've got memories of you
    But they don't take me where I want to be
    Whenever I think of you
    I remember you on my knee
    With your arms around my soul
    With my heart and mind at peace
    I've got memories of you
    At least.

    I know I'll have you tomorrow
    But each night's eternity
    I know I had you just today
    But it only makes me bleed
    For you; What gets me through
    Is that I have this picture of you.

    I've got a pain in my heart
    But it's pain I'd choose any day
    I'd step forward for it; volunteer;
    And in its hold I'd stay
    'Cause it only hurts when you're not around
    And you're never far away
    You're in me and I'm in you
    You don't realize what we can do
    Look at all that we've been through
    And I've got this picture of you.

    Doot.
