The Kinks — People Take Pictures of Each Other

People take pictures of the summer Just in case someone thought they had missed it And to prove that it really existed Fathers take pictures of the mothers And the sisters take pictures of brothers Just to show that they love one another You can't picture love that you took from me When we were young and the world was free Pictures of things as they used to be Don't show me no more, please People take pictures of each other Just to prove that they really existed Just to prove that they really existed People take pictures of each other And the moment can last them forever Of the time when they mattered to someone People take pictures of the summer Just in case someone thought they had missed it Just to prove that it really existed People take pictures of each other Of a moment that lasts them forever And the time when they mattered to someone Picture of me when I was just three Sat with my Ma by the old oak tree How I love things as they used to be Don't show me no more, please
