Old 8 X 10

Well know it ain't much but it's all that I have since she's gone
One black and white memory of the only love I've ever known
One moment in time when we were together
A page from the past to haunt me forever
A constant reminder that hearts heal much slower than bones

Now my whole world's in one 8 x 10 with 4 metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window 'neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8 x 10 picture of us

I wish I'd have told her what I felt inside
Back when her sweet love was growing like wine
I wish she'd come back and love me again
The way that she loved me in that old 8 x 10

Now the silence I deafening as the date turns to dark
Her presence gets stronger with each beat of my heart
I pretend that she's here and we've made a new start
And for a moment she's back in my arms

Now my whole world's in one 8 x 10 with 4 metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window 'neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8 x 10 picture of us, there's an 8 x 10 picture of us
