Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)
It's Not the Way You Look,
It's Not the Way That You Smile.
Although There's Something to Them.
It's Not the Way You Have Your Hair,
It's Not That Certain Style;
It Could Be That With You.
If I Had a Photograph of You,
It's Something to Remind Me.
I Wouldn't Spend My Life Just Wishing.
It's Not the Make-up
And It's Not the Way That You Dance,
It's Not the Evening Sky.
It's More the Way Your Eyes
Are Laughing As They Glance
Across the Great Divide.
If I Had a Photograph of You,
It's Something to Remind Me.
I Wouldn't Spend My Life Just Wishing.
It's Not the Things You Say
It's Not the Things You Do
It Must Be Something More
And If I Feel This Way For So Long
Tell Me Is It All For Nothing
Just Don't Walk Out the Door.
If I Had a Photograph of You,
It's Something to Remind Me.
