Old Pictures

Here's a little girl playing dress up she's somewhere under all that lace
Standing in her momma's high heel shoes with a lipstick covered face
Here's a little boy on a pony he's a cowboy all the way
Used to pull my hair and make me mad at the Saturday matinee
Oh who'd have thought I'd lose my heart to the same little boy someday

Looking through my old pictures faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears others make me laugh
Old mem'ries they seem to come alive
And open up the past again and let me dream inside

Here's brother with his very first automobile
We thought he'd wash the paint away
He took a job that took him West he's doing very well
But we don't see much of brother these days
Oh and this is my favorite of my paw-paw he's all dressed up in his Sunday suit
Wide brimmed hat a watch on a chain I'm gonna tell you the truth
It's a picture of a downright handsome man caught in the prime oh his youth

Looking through my old pictures...
They open up the past again and let me dream inside
