Old 8 X 10

Well I know it ain't much
But it's all that I have since she's gone
One black and white memory
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 8x10
With four metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window
'neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8x10 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 would come back and love me again
The way that she loved me in that old 8x10

Now the silence I 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
And for a moment
She's back in my arms

Now my whole world's in one 8x10
With four metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window
'neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8x10 picture of us
There's an 8x10 picture of us
