Your Picture - Gloria Estefan

Every day I wake up to your picture

Open up my eyes and there’s still you

In the very corner I first placed you

The very same expression

That lights up all of my room

Though the colors may be somewhat faded

The smile has almost vanished from your face

As you disappear I re-invent you

From my imagination

You’ll never be erased

There is no way to bargain with the future

In the end there are no guarantees… oh no

Even if you’re gone I’ll always find you

Right here where I left you

Smiling back at me

Every star has a season, a moment, a reason to be

We may watch with regret as they flicker then die

But at least for one second we bathed in the light

Of their passing

The memory still lasting

Through the years and the distance your image remains

Like the first day I saw you, you’ll never be changed

As a token you left me your picture

Every day I wake up to your picture

I fashion you a different attitude

Try to visualize the things you’re doing

Not in desperation

Just to feel a part of you

There is no way to bargain with the future

What we have in store we can’t foresee… oh no

Even if you’re gone I’ll always find you

Right here where I left you

Smiling back at me

Every star has a season, a moment, a reason to be

We may watch with regret as they flicker then die

But at least for one second we bathed in the light

Of their passing

The memory still lasting

Through the years and the distance your image remains

Like the first day I saw you, you’ll never be changed

As a token you left me your picture

Smiling back at me
