I Wish I Had Pictures lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh, hold on, let me tell you somethin' now

[Verse 1]
I wish I had pictures of every old day
'Cause all these old memories are fading away
There used to be pictures, but they faded too
Or got lost in the hubbub
The f*ck's a hubbub?
Who wrote this?

[Verse 2]
Of all my old lovers, folks I used to know
And those I still care for who died long ago
The glamorous cities, each cute, cute little town
Trees turning purple, yellow and brown

[Bridge]
If I were an artist with charcoal or pad, I'd be broke
I'd own my own pictures—who gives a f*ck about that?
If I were a poet, I'd write the right word
I'd make it all pretty, and grand, and absurd
If I were an actor, I'd shoot myself
Or some little gesture, I would bring it all back

[Verse 3]
But I'm just a singer, used to be, it's only a song
The things I remember are probably wrong
I wish I had pictures of every old day
'Cause all these old memories are fading away
[Outro]
All these old memories are fading away
All these old memories are fading away
All these old memories, fading away
