Pictures of Rachel

I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad
He said, "Son now here's some little something"
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all

Pictures of Rachel made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Rachel helped me sleep at night
Pictures of Rachel solved my childhood problems
Pictures of Rachel helped me feel all right

Pictures of Rachel
Rachel, oh Rachel
Rachel, oh Rachel
Pictures of Rachel

And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Rachel
I asked my dad where Rachel I could find
He said, "Son, now don't be silly"
"She's been dead since 2039"
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Rachel's time
It would have been alright
Pictures of Rachel made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Rachel helped me sleep at night
For me and Rachel are together in my dreams
And I ask you, "Hey mister, have you ever seen"
"Pictures of Rachel?"
