Picture Perfect

Somewhere you lead me

Some place I can’t recall

Sometimes I remember

The night fall and the song


Some place you took me

Lead me on and on

I remember the wild flowers

Trampled under your feet


Sometimes when I remember

The silence and the stillness

When our eyes stayed locked unblinking

Time stood still in wait


Sometimes I think of you

And those moments that stood so still

Frozen in my mind

Your youth captured unfading


Just one time you’ve beaten destiny

And time and space and the world itself

Lingering on youthful and unchanging

In times faded, wrinkled and aging.
