Lyrics
Pictures from the Past
Marghi Allen (c) 1981
Pictures from the past
That time can?t erase
Memories of a dream gone bad
That I still can?t face
Well, I?d love to make some memories
That we could share
Just me and you
But these pictures from the past
Keep breaking through
I used to love someone
He talked a lot like you
Had the same kind of smile
And his eyes were just as blue
But nothing he ever promised me
Ever came true
And now these pictures from the past
Keep breaking through
Lots of girls in town
Would love to have you hanging around
You?d never have to worry
If their words of love were true
But I'm just starting to discover
That it takes time to recover
When you lose the one
Who means the world to you
Well, there may come a day
When I am free at last
When I?m no longer haunted
By a love I had in my past
But till that day arrives
There is nothing I can do
To keep these pictures from the past from breaking
Pictures from the past from breaking
Pictures from the past from breaking
My heart in two
Well these pictures from the past keep breaking through
Breaking through
Breaking through
Breaking through
