I Get the Picture

The moving van is waitin' for the rain to stop

Your agent put a sign up in the yard

I wondered was there anything that you'd forgot

I guess that goodbye's got to be this hard

One last look around the rooms that we both shared

I knew I couldn't stay here by myself

I saw a box and wondered why you'd left it out

Right there on the bedroom closet shelf

Faded yellow photos of a boy and girl

Smiling in the blazing Texas sun

It must have been the year before your daddy died

He tried to warn me then this day would come

I get the picture though the love has gone away

I get the picture though your memory will fade I get the picture

Wasn't that the guy you told me you forgot

Oh what's his name who never made you laugh

But I never made you smile the way you're smilin' here

By his side in this faded photograph

Last night when I met you at your lawyer's house

I wondered bout the guy who dropped you off

Guess I prob'ly never place this smiling face

If you hadn't left behind this box

I get the picture though the love has gone away...
