The prompt today is picture/photograph. So many options that I had a hard time picking. In the end I went back to the 70s for nostalgia sake. ❤

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can’t I paint you?
The words will never show
The you I’ve come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There’s no one home but you
You’re all that’s left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I’d be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I’d spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

This one tears at my heart-strings. It was played on repeat during an awful breakup when I was a teenager. It is so beautiful, but SO sad. Great pick! ❤

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that, probably not since it fell off the Top-40 charts.

That’s the best part of SLS. We get to be nostalgic and find songs from our past that fit the theme.

I used to really like Bread but now it just reminds me of a bad romance (that I had). Best of Bread played over and over. It’s too bad too because they are really pretty songs.

I have a few songs like that. It’s weird how our memories are connected with music. Can be good or bad.

Oh, yes! Beautiful song. We used to listen to this on our old 8-track player in our Mustang, especially on long road trips. Wonderful choice! 😉

Seems many of the picture/photograph songs are poetic. Lost love and melancholy.

I used to play this song on a loop. My brother always got mad at me for moving the needle back to listen on more time. “you’re gonna scratch it” he’d yell. Old school replay was much more difficult than it is today. 🙂
