Take a Picture of This Lyrics

[Chorus]
Take a picture of this
Take a picture of this

[Bridge]
Then we raised a family of our own
We were so happy, baby
But now the kids have grown and gone


I gave it everything I had
Through the good times and the bad
But now I’m down here on the floor
Cause I don’t know you anymore

[Verse 3]
Yeah, that’s a suitcase
Yeah, that’s a ticket for a plane
There’s no one here to talk to
No reason to remain
When you spend all your time living in the past
With all those pictures that you took
Here’s one more for the book


[Chorus]
Take a picture of this, this is me leaving
Take a picture of this, this is me walking away
[Outro]
Take a picture of this
Take a picture of this
Take a picture of this

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Take a Picture of This” by Don Henley and Stan Lynch appears on Henley’s 2015 album, Cass County.

This is a lament to a lifetime love gone to waste. They got so tied-up in family, work and the stuff of life, they lost the special intimacy that’s needed to grow old together.
