Old Pictures

Here's a little girl playin' dress up

Somewhere under all that lace

Standin' in her mama's high-heeled shoes

With a lipstick covered face

And here's a little boy on a pony

He's a cowboy all the way

He used to pull my hair and make me mad at the Saturday matinée

Who would've thought that I'd lose my heart to the same little boy someday?

Lookin' through my old pictures

Faded photographs

Some of them bring me close to tears

Others make me laugh

Old memories seem to come alive

And open up the past again

And let me dream inside

His brother with his first automobile

Thought he'd washed the paint away

He took a job that took him West

He's doing very well

We don't see much of brother these days

Oh, and this is my favorite of my papa

He's dressed up in his Sunday suit

A wide brimmed hat, a watch on a chain

Well, I'm gonna tell you the truth

It's a picture of a downright handsome man

Caught in the prime of his youth

Lookin' through my old pictures

Faded photographs

Some of them bring me close to tears

Others make me laugh

Old memories seem to come alive

And open up the past again

And let me dream inside

Uhm, they open up the past again and let me dream inside
