Out of the Picture Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're out of the picture
And oh, how I miss ya
I want to hold you and kiss ya all day
There would be eyes on the camera
I've got my arms all around ya
Oh, I mustn't last too long
'Cause in a flash you were gone
I gotta fade that photograph
That reminds me of a happy past
We used to stroll through the park
On a trip we caught two hearts
But now in my dark room all that shows of this gloom
You're gone

[Chorus]
Out of the picture, oh, baby (Oh, baby)
Oh, how I miss ya and the things you do
You're gone, out of the picture, oh, baby (Oh, baby)
I'm hoping and wishing that you'll miss me too

[Verse 2]
Keep this faded photograph
It's not a lot, so what? It's all I've got
There in the picture we were smiling
Starling and profiling
The camera didn't lie, but you did
Oh, why did you go?
[Chorus]
Out of the picture, oh, baby (Oh, baby)
Oh, how I miss ya and the things you do
(How I miss ya, oh, how I miss ya)

[Bridge]
Oh yeah, oh, baby
Oh, you're gone

[Chorus]
Out of the picture (Out of the picture)
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
Oh, how I miss ya and the things you do
(How I miss ya, oh, how I miss ya)
Out of the picture (Out of the picture)
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
I'm hoping and wishing that you'll miss me too
You're gone
Out of the picture (Out of the picture)
Oh, baby
Oh, how I miss ya (I miss ya)
And the things you do
Oh, baby
Out of the picture
