Before The Daylight Fades

from Small by Robin Tymm

/

lyrics

Take a photograph before the daylight fades
Put it in an album to remind us
Of all the fun we had and all the love we made
For when those days are far behind us

Take a photograph before the daylight fades
Let’s make a memory worth the keeping
The sun is sinking fast and cannot be delayed
The golden hour is oh so fleeting

BRIDGE
So take the photograph ‘cause soon the moment will be gone
Let the light and silver nitrate mix to fix this time in stone
Then we’ll pick up our belongings, pack the car and head for home
So please take the photograph ‘cause I can’t hold this smile for long

Take a photograph before the daylight fades
Imagine that our children’s children find us
Flattened like a butterfly and stuck onto a page
A single picture to define us

Take a photograph before the daylight fades
The sun is falling into the horizon
For now our hearts unbroken and our love not yet betrayed
But I’m afraid a bad moon will be rising

BRIDGE
So take the photograph ‘cause soon the moment will be gone
Let the light and silver nitrate mix to fix this time in stone
Then we’ll pick up our belongings, pack the car and head for home
So please take the photograph ‘cause I can’t hold this smile for long

Take a photograph before the daylight fades
Put it in an album to remind us
