EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY
v
My childhood home was boarded up and shuttered
One of the saddest sights I 'd ever seen
Mom had worked so hard and the place was really spotless
While my dad worked that garden growing greens
v
The backyard now is full of weeds and debris
My ball net torn and waving in the breeze
I tore down the timber that was nailed across the doorway
And pushed that old front door open with ease
c
Every picture tells a story, those images are locked into eternity
A second of somebody's life captured. Never more to be set free
v
The wall paper now is peeling in the hallway
Reveals a cartoon drawing done by Dad
I remember the fun we had back in them good old days
And now those times are gone and it's so sad
b
The last time I saw my parents both together
Was on this front porch waving me goodbye
I'd taken up a job far away in New York City
Two weeks later I heard that they'd both died.
c
Every picture tells a story, those images are locked into eternity
A second of somebody's life captured. Never more to be set free
v
The house was now earmarked for demolition
Had to save some memories of that place
While taking some last pictures of the old screen door
I couldn't stop the tears from running down my face
v
Now the greatest shock came when I got back home
Switched the camera on to see just what I had
Standing at the front porch and waving me goodbye
Were the smiling faces of my Mom and Dad
c
Every picture tells a story, those images are locked into eternity
A second of somebody's life captured. Never more to be set free
Smiling faces on that tiny camera screen
Happiest sight that I have ever seen
