PICTURE THIS
©Johnnie A. Lawson 03/04/05

PICTURE THIS, PALE BLUE SKY
BIG OL' CLOUD, FLOATIN' BY
(LOOKS) LIKE A GIRAFFE, KINDA MAKES ME LAUGH
THEN COMES ANOTHER, LOOKS LIKE MY LOVER
THEN COMES THE THUNDER, THEN COMES THE LIGHTNING
IT'S NO WONDER, I FEEL SO FRIGHTENED
THEN COMES THE RAIN, WASH AWAY, MY TEARS AGAIN ...

PICTURE THIS, I'M STANDING ON HER FRONT PORCH
SHE OPENS THE DOOR, AND I SEE HER SMILE
SHE TAKES ME IN, THE LIGHT IS FLASHING
FROM HER EYES, WHERE OUR LOVE BEGINS
AND I NEVER, WOULD HAVE EVER
THOUGHT FOREVER, WAS WHERE WE'D END
instrumental ...

PICTURE THIS, TIME PASSES BY
THERE WERE TIMES WE LAUGHED, SOMETIMES WE CRIED
WE WERE FRIENDS, WE WERE LOVERS
BUT THEN ONE DAY, WE BOTH DISCOVERED
WHAT BROKE OUR HEARTS, MIGHT BE GOD'S PLAN
TORE US APART, BEFORE WE HAD PLANNED
AND IT WAS RAINING AND THERE WAS LIGHTNING
THE NIGHT HE TOOK HER, WE WERE SO FRIGHTENED
SHE WENT AWAY, AND NOW I ACHE, FOR HER AGAIN ...

THEN COMES THE THUNDER
THEN COMES THE LIGHTNING
IT'S NO WONDER, I'M SO DAMN FRIGHTENED
THEN COMES THE RAIN, TO WASH AWAY, MY TEARS AGAIN ...
