Pictures

I sat on the living room floor with them face up on the ground. 
Memories from my past scattered all around. 
I picked one up from when I was just about three. 
It brought back feelings of that time with just my momma and me. 
this one is from when the kids would play hide and seek. 
If only those pictures from so long ago could speak.  

Pictures, pictures, they tell the stories of
The ways we lived and laughed and loved
They bring us joy as the days roll on. 
A moment stuck in time that will never be gone. 
I never would have dreamed that i would have seen 
That Picture, picture staring back at me

I never thought I would have seen the day I was dressed in white. 
I was certain that wasn't the way I would spend my life. 
He is everything I thought I never deserved. 
He makes promises that aren't just empty words. 
I'll always remember the day we said I do. 
now I pinch myself when I see those pictures of me and you

Pictures, pictures, they tell the stories of
The ways we lived and laughed and loved
They bring us joy as the days roll on. 
A moment stuck in time that will never be gone. 
I never would have dreamed that i would have seen 
That Picture, picture staring back at me. 

I sit out on the porch all alone. 
So many in these photos neath a stone.
I looked down and wished these moments could freeze. 
I look up and thank God for these memories. 

Pictures, pictures, they tell the stories of
The ways we lived and laughed and loved
They bring us joy as the days roll on. 
A moment stuck in time that will never be gone. 
I never would have dreamed that i would have seen 
That Picture, picture staring back at me.
