Photograph Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Found a photograph of you
torn at the edges
color faded from time

Reminded me of yesterdays
moments come and gone
that can't ever come back

When all we believed in
yeah, you and I
Now here I am in Nashville
hanging onto this fame
That shooting star you said
would burn out and fade away

And I've been 'round this ol' world
touched the hands of those
that guided me down this road
Singing and being
what you said I never would

Found a photograph of you
bring back memories
I thought long buried

Those days of compromise
what you couldn't see in me
things you always said were just dreams

Yeah, I remember when you said
you could do better than me
Now I'm in Nashville
hanging onto this fame
That shooting star you said
would burn out and fade away

Found a photograph of you
and for a brief moment
I wondered how different my life would have been...
