[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
st wishing
