(Russell Smith - Carol Chase - Kathy Louvin)

Baby take a picture it'll last a lot longer
Than the sweet love I thought that we were in
Come tomorrow morning I'll be gone then
So you better take a picture if you ever want to see me again.

Here's a little old spice you can put it on your pillow
In the spot where I used to lay my head
Maybe you could hold it while you're dreamin'
From now on that's as close as you'll get.

So you better take a picture it'll last a lot longer
Than the sweet love I thought we were in
Come tomorrow morning I'll be gone then
So you better take a picture if you ever want to see me again.

If you ever wake up crying
Longing to say how wrong you've been'
If it makes you feel better you can write it in a letter
And you can read it to my old eight-by-ten.

So you better take a picture it'll last a lot longer
Than the sweet love I thought we were in
Come tomorrow morning I'll be gone then
So you better take a picture if you ever want to see me again.

Yeah, you better take a picture if you ever want to see me again...
