    • Verse 1
    There 

    are pictures 
    on the pi
    ano, 

    Pic
    tures 
    of 
    the family, 

    Mostly 
    my 
    kids 
    but 
    there's 
    an old 

    Picture 
    of 
    you 
    and me. 

    You 
    were five 
    and 
    I 
    was 
    six 

    In 
    1952 

    That was 
    forty 
    years 
    ago 

    How 
    could 
    it 
    be 
    true? 

    Verse 2
    We were 
    sitting 
    outside 
    drawing 

    At a 
    table 
    meant 
    for 
    cards, 

    And 
    it must 
    have 
    been 
    in autumn, 

    Falling 
    leaves 
    in 
    the 
    front 
    yard, 

    With 
    a shoe 
    box 
    full 
    of cray
    ons, 

    Full 
    of 
    col
    ors 
    oh 
    so 
    bright, 

    In 
    a picture 
    in 
    a 
    plastic 
    frame, 

    A 
    snap
    shot 
    black 
    and 
    white. 

    Verse 3
    You were 
    looking 
    at my 
    paper, 

    Watching 
    what 
    I 
    drew 

    It was 
    natural: I was 
    older, 

    Thir
    teen 
    months 
    more 

    than you. 

    A brother 
    and 
    a sister, 

    A 
    little 
    boy 
    and 
    girl, 

    And who
    ever took 
    that 
    picture 

    Captured 
    our 
    own 
    world. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    A 
    brother 
    needs 
    a sis
    ter 

    To 
    watch 
    what 
    he 
    can 
    do, 

    To 
    protect 
    and 
    to torture, 

    To 
    boss 
    around—it's true 

    But 
    a brother 
    will 
    defend 
    her 

    For 
    a sis
    ter's 
    love 
    is 
    pure, 

    Because 
    she think
    s he's 
    wonderful 

    When 
    he 
    is not 
    so 
    sure. 

    Verse 5
    In 
    the picture 
    there's 
    a 
    fender 

    Of our 
    old 
    Chevrolet 

    Or 
    Pontiac—our dad 
    would 
    know, 

    Surely 
    he could 
    say 

    But 
    dad 
    is 
    dead 
    and 
    we grow 
    old 

    It's true 
    that 
    time 
    flies 
    by 

    And 
    in forty 
    years 
    the 
    world 
    has changed 

    As 
    well 
    as you 
    and I.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
