a photograph
He has a photograph taped where it’s torn in half
Tattered and weathered and faded to grey
She stands beside him, her love there to guide him and
no time or distance can take that away
And it’s like she’s still there with the sun on her hair and the music is ready to start
He has a photograph taped where it’s torn in half
Keeping her close in his heart.
He has a memory, warm as a dream can be
Lighting his day like the sun lights the sky
She stands beside him, her love there to guide him and
no time or distance can take that away
And they’re all his to see, every sweet memory of the girl that he loved from the start
He has a memory, right where it needs to be
Keeping her close in his heart
It’s like he could hold her, his arms could enfold her
Not one minute older than when they first met
It’s cruel and it’s kind and it’s true love is blind
To a heart and a mind that will never forget
He has a wedding band there on his weathered hand
She put it there when she stood as his bride
It’s a reminder of when life was kinder
and no time or distance can take that away
And he still sees her there, with the sun on her hair
And the music is ready to start
He has a wedding band there on his weathered hand
Keeping her close in his heart
He has a wedding band, there on his finger and..
She’s always close in his heart

Every A.M., after his cup o joe, old George would break out his bill fold to pay his tab.There, in the photo slot, was THEIR picture. She was up on a beautiful palomino, her hair in a braid, flowers in hand. The date on the photo was 1922 and was weathered and torn from daily viewing. You see, while George was looking at this picture, he was back there and then, on that perfect day, his wedding day, with the love of his life.- he has a photograph.
