FLOWERS and TREES

I took your picture when I left 

I held it by my heart

I held it closer when I fell

A sacred work of art

I held your image in my mind

And I could hardly tell

When I was better heart and soul

We'd find each other well

The blooming of flowers and trees

But what of the days you're far from me

Hope they never come

When you've been low it's natural 

To see the deeper side

I see the colors in this world  

I see your brightest eyes

I hold this camera like a snare

To pull you to my side

Now I'm better heart and soul

Let's watch the evening rise

CHORUS

I'm sorting out our pictures here

Like paper memories

I'm sorting out our moments here

Against the falling leaves

I'm sorry for the empty days 

Before I held you near

I can't be sorry anymore

The picture came so clear

The blooming of flowers and trees

But what of the days you're far from me

Hope they never come
