I got the idea for this song when I took a selfie of my wife and I one morning before heading off to work in a snowstorm. I started thinking, suppose we took a selfie every morning. Wouldn't that be a lot of pictures of us on my phone? Many thanks to Brent and songwriting pro members for critiquing the song and making suggestions to improve it. I hope this version is a keeper.
I always appreciate the feeback. The good, bad or ugly. Thanks

I’ll Take Your Picture
Words and music by Allan Rosensweig
Weatherman says there's a cold front blowing through this morning
So hard for me to say goodbye
The way your hand slips in mine, how you wrap your arms around me
Your love could melt the icicles outside
Let me grab my phone, baby work it for the camera
In the middle of one incredible kiss
Pushed that button, now I know it, anytime I’m feeling lonely
I’ll be holding on to this
I’ll take your picture, it’ll last longer
Watch us kissing on that screen, when I need the next best thing
I’ll take your picture, It’ll last longer
We’ll start another memory every day before I leave, I’ll take your picture
The way you’re heating up my phone, baby there should be a warning
So mesmerized but I can’t get enough
Such a masterpiece should be hanging like a canvas
So the whole world knows we’re so in love
I’ll take your picture it’ll last longer
Watch us kissing on that screen, when I need the next best thing
I’ll take your picture, It’ll last longer
We’ll start another memory every day before I leave, I’ll take your picture
Now I remember it like yesterday, the two of us
Captured forever by the back of that door
Now there must be a couple hundred kisses on my phone
And I can’t wait for about a million more
I’ll take your picture, it’ll last longer
Watch us kissing on that screen, when I need the next best thing
I’ll take your picture, It’ll last longer
We can start another memory every day before I leave, I’ll take your picture
Oh I’ll take your picture
Oh I’ll take your picture
I’ll take your picture
