The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright, bright as ever
The red is strong, the blue is pure
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time
Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
I think about you often, often
I won't forget the things we did
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time
It's funny, but it's true
And it's true, but it's not funny
Time comes and goes
All of the while I still think of you
Some things last a long time
Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright, bright as ever
The things we did, I can't forget
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
