The south of France is surely nice this time of year,
In all my life I've never seen a sky so clear
I took a photograph but something's missing here
The wine is nice, but it's so bittersweet
Cause I'm just picturing you inside this picture with me
I took a snapshot here, but it's still incomplete
Cause I'm just picturing you inside this picture with me
The Tower of Pisa's leaning high above us all
It looks as drunk as me, like it's about to fall
I put my bottle down and light up a Pall Mall
The Van Gogh Sky and the Monet Sea...
And I'm just picturing you inside this picture with me
Oh, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci
Paint me a picture of you inside this picture with me
Oh, the days are getting long
And the nights keep dragging on
You are gone
You are gone
I roamed the countryside and saw the Coliseum
I am in ruins baby, wish that you could see 'em
Asked for directions and they told me, "Carpe Diem!"
It's beautiful here on these cobblestone streets,
But I'm just picturing you inside this picture with me
It's like a postcard dream, but it's still incomplete
Cause I'm just picturing you inside this picture with me
