There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing

Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepia tone loving
Love is the answer,At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together"
