[Verse 1]

 It's not the 

way you look
             
 It's not the 

             
way that you s


mile
  
Although there

's something t

o them

 It's not the 

way you have y

our hair
             
 It's not that

         
 certain style
   
It could be th

at with you

[Chorus]
          
 If I had a ph

otograph of yo

u
            
 Or something 

     
to remind me
            
 I wouldn't sp

       
end my life ju

st wishing

[Verse 2]

 It's not the 

make-up
             
 And it's not 

              
the way that y

   
ou dance
     
It's not the e

vening sky

 It's more the

 way your eyes
             
Are laughing a

         
s they glance
 
Across the gre

at divide

[Chorus]
          
 If I had a ph

otograph of yo

u
            
 Or something 

     
to remind me
            
 I wouldn't sp

       
end my life ju

st wishing

[Verse 3]

 It's not the 

things you say
             
 It's not the 

           
things you do
   
It must be som

ething more

 And if I feel

 this way for 

so long
             
Tell me is it 

          
all for nothin

g
     
Just don't wal

k out the door

[Chorus]
          
 If I had a ph

otograph of yo

u
            
 Or something 

     
to remind me
            
 I wouldn't sp

       
end my life ju
