Mary Jane Dawson - Back then (Pictures of my life) Lyrics

It was summer, the sun was high
There she lay, in a white swimsuit, catching every eye
On the lawn at the pool, looking like a dream
Had no eyes for me, or so it seemed

I dove into the water, hands on my heart
A funny scene - but my dreams fell apart

Long ago, the laughter and the tears
Pictures of my life, across the years
Back then, the whispers stay
Pictures of my life, day by day

Cruising west with the boys, laughter in the air
LA nights, Vegas lights, adventures everywhere
Zion's grace, Yosemite's peaks, nature's perfect dream
Santa Barbara's breeze, Grand Canyon's mighty stream

Fireside chats beneath the open sky
Nothing to fear, days just passing by

Long ago, the laughter and the tears
Pictures of my life, across the years
Back then, the whispers stay
Pictures of my life, day by day

Summer days with you, in your stylish dress
Tanned and perfect, nothing less
On the beach, blue bathing suit, stealing the scene
Images in my head, you were my queen

Dinners, nights so full of charm
Memories we'll cherish, arm in arm

Long ago, the laughter and the tears
Pictures of my life, across the years
Back then, the whispers stay
Pictures of my life, day by day

Long ago, the sunshine and the tears
Pictures of my life, over the years
Back then, the voices play
Pictures of my life, night and day

It´s been a while...

Long ago, the laughter and the tears
Pictures of my life, across the years
Back then, the whispers stay
Pictures of my life, day by day
