Lyrics
Pictures on the wall, Memories of now and then Just smiling for the camera A lifetime of what has been Those faces still remain Some faded by the tears But if you add up all the smile you see You’ve been blessed throughout the years [Chorus] Yes those pictures on the wall Times lost and in the past We’d give most anything, just to bring them back But time won’t wait for anyone, tomorrow’s on its way Those pictures on the wall, hold on to yesterday. [Bridge] Like a song that takes you back To that moment you belonged In an instant you are young And the whole world sang along That day you said I do, And times those miracles came true Those pictures on the wall you see Proof that God loves you and me... and will always see us through. [Chorus] Yes those pictures on the wall Times lost and in the past We’d give most anything, just to bring them back But time won’t wait for anyone, tomorrow’s on it’s way Those pictures on the wall, hold on to yesterday. Those pictures on the wall the reminder to live life As special gift… today.
