Chorus
If only our pictures were perfect as you 
I'd order them buried at sea
There's not enough space in this Earthly place
For something as perfect as you are to me

Verse 1
If only our pictures were perfect as you 
They'd be in museums on display
For the wealthy to come and admire
As they arrive via cabriolet
They'd be hung by the van Gogh's and Rembrandt's
Admired for both depth and style
Not far from the Mona Lisa 
Who now has a reason to smile

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2
If only our pictures were perfect as you 
They'd be on display in the foyer
In every mansion of every movie star
From New York to LA
They'd be the focal point of attention
All who behold them would stare
Frozen moments in time
Called inspired, divine
A vision of romance so rare

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
This is nothing more than the dreams of wasted youth
A wonderful ideal without a shred of truth
Emotion descending 
There goes the glory
Obscuring the love that remained in our story
Love makes the worthless beautiful 
I believe the signs
That when in love
We see with our hearts
Not our eyes or minds

Repeat Chorus

Chorus
If only our pictures were perfect as you 
I'd order them buried at sea
There's not enough space in this Earthly place
For something as perfect as you are to me
If only our pictures were perfect as you
They'd be canonized and criticized
As the standard of beauty we view
This is a fairy tale 
But one we can see through

Outro
If only our pictures were perfect as you 
If only our pictures were perfect as you
If only our pictures were perfect as you 
If only...
If only...
If only...
