Old Pictures

[Verse 1]

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 matinee

Ah, who'd have thought that I'd lose my heart

To the same little boy someday?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Here's brother with his very first automobile

He thought he'd wash 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, tnd 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

[Chorus]

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

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