Old 8 X 10

(Joe Chambers - Larry Jenkins)



Well, I 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.



Chorus:

Now my whole world's in one 8 x 10

With four 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 flowing 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 Is deaf'ning

As the day 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

For a moment

She's back in my arms.



Chorus:

Now my whole world's in one 8 x 10

With four 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...
