Lyrics
IN THE PICTURE
There?s a crystal frame on the nightstand
With a photo taken last June
An 8 x 10 glossy
Of a blissful bride and groom
You can see the love shining in their eyes
On the day they vowed to share their lives
And it?s all here, captured
In the picture
There?s a locket she wears around her neck
With a photo this May
Of a beautiful baby girl
She thanks God for everyday
She?s got her daddy?s smile and her momma?s eyes
Looks like grandma when she was a child
And it?s all here, captured
In the picture
Bridge:
They say a picture paints a thousand words
And it couldn?t be more true
It?s funny what can develop
When you focus what?s in view
There?s a note inside his jacket
With a photo taken in December
Of a man and woman lost
In a kiss that looks so tender
The truth cuts in her like a knife
There?s another woman in his life
And it?s all here, captured
In the picture
