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 mem’ry
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 8×10
With 4 metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window
'neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8×10 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 8×10
Now the silence I deaf’ning
As the date turns to dark
Her presence gets stronger with each beat of my heart
I pretned that she’s here
And we’ve made a new start
And for a moment
She’s back in my arms
There’s an 8×10 picture of us
