Faded Pictures

In the days before you knew me Better than I knew myself Other eyes would look right through me Passing by like vague farewells Just a stranger in a strange land Walking slowly, looking down Never trusting in my own hands Lost inside with no way out Love, oh it was a dream Love, it was everything When you came I wasn't ready I was sure no one could swim In the waters I was treading But you went and dove right in And the currents tried to hold you Far away and out of reach And I don't know why you chose to Risk it all to get to me Love, oh it was a dream Love, it was everything Not every day was perfect But looking back right now I wouldn't trade a moment That led us through the dark To what we found Faded pictures, smiling faces See those kids we used to be Little moments rearranged us Time and patience set us free Knowing now the place we landed What a thing so rare is worth I can see it, understand it How could you have been so sure when Love, oh it was a dream Love, it was everything
