Mental Picture Lyrics

I've been avoiding things I'm missing
Then you came into my life a brand new flower, baby
A reminder of what happiness is like
On the other side
What can't I feel?
(I'm saying my blind side)

Chorus
And if a mental picture 's all I've got, to go on
For a while or more
Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you
Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know
You're a picture to remember

Time was of the essence
And as usual the day turns into minutes
Sharing love and tenderness
That's the nerve you struck in me that sent a signal
To the other side
Girl I don't know
I'm saying my blind side

Chorus
And if a mental picture 's all I've got, to go on
For a while or more
Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you
Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know
You're a picture to remember
Take me to the other side
Why can't I feel?
Out of my blind side

Chorus
And oh if a mental picture's all I've got
All I've got to go on
For a while or more
Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you
Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know
You're a picture to remember, remember
