\"I\'d rather see the world the way it used to be\"
from \'Goin\' Back\', Dusty Springfield - 1966
The pictures on the mantlepiece
I am lost in them
It feels too much to bear,
I can see me in those pictures
I am looking back at me
I am there, but not there;
And you - you are there
But now you\'ve grown up
It is too much to bear,
I can see you in those pictures
You are looking back at me
You are there, but not there;
It\'s not fair to hold you back
No-one held me back
Life dictated it so,
And as my heart breaks
And my tears fall
I know I have to let you go.
