All of our memories are like a box of photographs. Good and bad memories...

Lyrics
BOX OF PHOTOGRAPHS
Words And Music By Johnny Rodgers And Richard Barone
I never claimed to be a wise man, but I know the time is fading too fast.
How will I ever find a future when I spend the present thinking of the past?
Unhappy accidents in unimagined places that I can't seem to remember to forget.
A flash of fantasies of old familiar faces and I can't erase the traces of them yet.
A million laughs...
A box of photographs...
I couldn't keep from being near you, though I knew that I would always be outclassed.
How will I ever find my faith now that I lost the only thing I thought would last?
I'd take some snapshots just to prove I wasn't dreaming and I'd stash them in a folder of regrets.
I guess I thought I could hold on to them forever; well, a dreamer will deserve all that he gets.
In cluttered stacks
Of grays and blacks ...
A million laughs...
A box of photographs...
The wind is good today. I'll watch them flyaway. The wind is good today.
Flyaway... Flyaway...
They flutter fast.
In grays and blacks...
Flying past where we once took our chances...
Free at last,
A million laughs...
A box of photographs...
I never claimed to be a wise man, but I know the time is fading too fast.
