"Picture Cards Can't Picture You" lyrics

"Picture Cards Can't Picture You"

Didn't try to fall in love with you
Tried everything that I could do
To keep from falling
Like I've done so many times

Tried to wash it all away
In anything and every day
I think of all the things you said
When we were all alone

I saw daylight in your eyes
I saw daylight in your eyes

Wish I could but I can't say
Tomorrow's still a day away
I always love the time
That I can spend with you

Who can know and who can tell
I never seen a wishin' well
That held what its' supposed to hold but who knows
Maybe somewhere there might be

I saw daylight in your eyes
I saw daylight in your eyes

Time will come and time will go
And I believe in things I know
Been doing it a long time
Guess I can again

Win or draw no chance to lose
Picture cards can't picture you
But I can see you like you are
If I just close my eyes
