This Is A Photograph - Kevin Morby

This is a photograph a window to the past

Of your father on the front lawn with no shirt on

Ready to take the world on beneath the West Texas sun

The year that you were born

The year that you are now

His wife behind the camera

His daughter and his baby boy

Got a glimmer in his eye seems to say

This is what I'll miss after I die

And this is what I'll miss about being alive

My body my girls my boy the sun

Now time's the undefeated the heavyweight champ

Laughing in his face as it dance like Sugar Ray

Used to be c'mon c'mon but now no mas no mas

Used to be c'mon c'mon but now no mas no mas

And this is a photograph

A window to the past

Of your mother in a skirt

In the cool Kentucky dirt

Laughing in the garden haha

Back where it all started

Ha ha ha ha

With a smile on her face everything in it's place

Got a glimmer in her eye seems to say

This is what I'll miss about being alive

This is what I'll miss about being alive

This is what I'll miss about being alive

And this is what I'll miss after I die

This is what I'll miss about being alive

This is what I'll miss about being alive

This is what I'll miss about being alive

And this is what I'll miss after I die

This is what I'll miss about being alive

This is what I'll miss about being alive

This is what I'll miss about being alive

And this is what I'll miss after I die

This is a photograph a window to the past

Of me on a front lawn ready to take the world on

Beneath the Tennessee sun inside the kingdom

Got a glimmer in my eye seems to say
