Picture Of You
by Mr. Hudson and the Library

Verse 1:

Its always the sunny days that bring me down
When I'm reminded that you're not around
Friends try and fail to make me smile
But I had the answer with me all the while

Chorus:

I've got a picture of you, wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me, that I'm never alone

Verse 2:

Should time bring me fame or a touch of bling
Imagine that, getting paid to sing
Keep your cars, cigars and frosted rings
Without you here, they just won't mean a thing

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Sometimes at night, I wonder what your face is
Knowing I won't see you
No, there is no other face that could replace
The one that's got a look that could be you

(Repeat Chorus)
