Artist/Band: Statler Brothers
Lyrics for Song: Pictures
Lyrics for Album: The Best of the Statler Brothers [Mercury] [1975]



(Don Reid - Lew DeWitt)



Here's the picture that we took in Cincinnati

The time we saw that big leauge baseball game

Here's the picture that we took in Printer's Alley

Down in Nashville when we met old what's his name.



Here's one of me in my old '60 Chevy

The one that let us down in Baltimore

Here's the best one that I ever seen of Betty

And can you believe the dresses that you wore.



Here's the picture that we took at graduation

I'm so glad you talked me out of quittin' school

Here I am when I worked at the filling station

And here's one of Ernie actin' like a fool.



Here's the last one that we ever took of daddy

We tried hard to make him smile but he never did

And here's one I caught of you when you weren't ready

And here I am when I was just a kid.



Oh sweetheart, it's so much fun to be reminded

Of how we used to look and what we used to do

And each time we make a memory I'm reminded

I can't picture me with no one else but you.



Here's a pose of you that looked so sweet and lovely

That's the way I pictured you right from the start

And here's a picture of you being close beside me

That's the picture that I carry in my heart.



Oh sweetheart, it's so much fun to be reminded

Of how we used to look and what we used to do

And each time we make a memory I'm reminded

I can't picture me with no one else but you.



Here's a pose of you that looked so sweet and lovely

That's the way I pictured you right from the start

And here's a picture of you being close beside me

That's the picture that I carry in my heart...
