Nine Days - Snapshots Lyrics

Before we get too far ahead of ourselves
Go back to when we couldn't reach the top shelf
Look at this pictures up and down the stairs
I was there...

This one's a memory I'll never forget
Me and your mom, here we met
Just look at the sunlight's bouncing off her hair
I was there...

You can tell a lot from a snapshot
But there's nothing like living it

Life is the stories we tell
That you know so well
Looking back over your shoulder
When we get older
Life is the moments we make
The seconds we take
Before you know it, it'll be over
Wish we could have a little longer

Don't blink, don't rush it
Make a mark everywhere
Say I was there...

Watching old movies way way back
There's our old Mustang and there's my dad
He looks so young, chasing me everywhere
I was there...

This one's of me driving away
Waving goodbye on graduation day
Well, I was so excited and little bit scared
But I was there...

You can live or grin through your memories
But there's nothing like living it

Life is the stories we tell
That you know so well
Looking back over your shoulder
When we get older
Life is the moments we make
The seconds we take
Before you know it, it'll be over
Wish we could have a little longer

Don't blink, don't rush it
Make a mark everywhere

I was there, not worrying about tomorrow
I'll be there along, every single day

You can tell a lot from a snapshot
But there's nothing like living it

Life is the stories we tell
That you know so well
Looking back over your shoulder
We're gonna get older
Life is the moments we make
The seconds we take
Before you know it, it'll be over
Wish we can have a little longer

Don't blink, don't rush it
Make a mark everywhere
And if you live it and love it
You can get yourself anywhere
Say I was there...

I was there...
