Don Henley - Take a Picture of This [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

A long long time ago
When we were young and pretty
We ruled the world
We stopped the time
We knew it all
We owned this city
Running with the crowd
Carefree and proud
I heard somebody say

Take a picture of this
Take a picture of this

The years went rushing by
In the twinkling of an eye
We rolled with the changes
Our life we knew was gone
Our friends had all moved on
Time rearranges
But on our wedding day
They all came back to say
Congratulations

Take a picture of this
Take a picture of this

Then we raised a family of our own
We were so happy, baby
But now the kids have grown and gone

I gave it everything I had
Through the good times and the bad
But now I’m down here on the floor
Cause I don’t know you anymore

Yeah, that’s a suitcase
Yeah, that’s a ticket for a plane
There’s no one here to talk to
No reason to remain
When you spend all your time living in the past
With all those pictures that you took
Here’s one more for the book

Take a picture of this, this is me leaving
Take a picture of this, this is me walking away
Take a picture of this, take a picture of this
Take a picture of this
