Mm-mm
Mm-mm
I found your picture, mama
Tucked inside your Sunday coat
Your smile was soft as sunrise
And full of all the love you wrote
The colors keep on bleeding
And the corners start to fold
But it's still the truest memory
Of the woman who raised my soul
You're fading like a photograph
Mama, stay close to me
I'm scared that when the picture fades
Your memory slips from me
You're fading like a photograph
But I'm holding what I can
'Cause every little piece that goes
Feels like losing you again
I can't recall your perfume
Or the songs you used to hum
I'm chasing down the little things
But time keeps making them new
I reached for you in quietness
I got deep when I was small
Now the picture's where I find you
Since you can't answer when I call, oh, oh
You're fading like a photograph, mm-mm
Mama, stay close to me
I'm scared that when the picture fades
Your memory slips from me
You're fading like a photograph
But I'm holding what I can
'Cause every little piece that goes
Feels like losing you again, oh-oh, oh
Time keeps tilling edges
From the things they try to say
But the love you left inside me
Is a part time couldn't take, yeah
You're fading like a photograph
But you're written in my mind
You're the reason I keep standing
And the fire in my flame
Oh, you're fading like a photograph (photograph)
But you are free from me
'Cause the heart you raised still beats here, oh
Where your love's all mine to be, mm-mm
