Lyrics
I found a picture in a shoebox lid Of a boy in a hat I once was, he did Stand by a car with a grin so wide Like the whole wide world was on his side Who is that boy with the borrowed tie Who is that boy with the sky in his eye Who is that girl in the photograph Laughing like she knows Hand on her hip and a tilt to her hat Wearing the whole town's show I say hello, I say hello Old friend, you look so fine Who is that girl in the photograph She's a lot like mine Black and white and a Sunday sun Everybody squinting, everybody young Somebody's thumb is across the lens Somebody's waving, bless those friends Who took the picture, who held the light Who said hold still, you look all right Who is that girl in the photograph Laughing like she knows Hand on her hip and a tilt to her hat Wearing the whole town's show I say hello, I say hello Old friend, you look so fine Who is that girl in the photograph She's a lot like mine Time can have the colour back I'll keep the grin and the shade of black Pin it up where the morning shines Say good day to the better times Who is that girl in the photograph Laughing like she knows Hand on her hip and a tilt to her hat Wearing the whole town's show I say hello, I say hello Old friend, you look so fine Who is that girl in the photograph She's a lot like mine She's a lot like mine
