tear me out of the picture

there's an old eight by ten

we were younger then

it was taken back when

you loved me

it's just a photograph

but i'm a part of your past

and you won't see the day

you're rid of me

you can tear me out of the picture

try to put me out of your mind

you can tear me out of the picture

but i'll be there when you close your eyes

oh it might fade in time

and you might change your mind

but once you've been mine

it's forever

so wherever you are

and no matter how far

in my heart of hearts

we're together

you can tear me out of the picture

try to put me out of your mind

you can tear me out of the picture

but i'll be there when you close your eyes

how can you forget how you loved me

or the part you played in my life

you can tear me out of the picture

but i'll be there when you close your eyes

oh i'll be there when you close your eyes
