Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I still see your face in that old faded frame
Hanging by the doorway, next to your name
We used to laugh until the sun went down
Now this house is just too quiet, not a single sound
No more visits, no more hugs, not another call
Just the memories frozen there on my wall
The sadness came the moment you were gone
But the truth hit hard when I got back home
(Chorus)
Now pictures and memories are all I have
The echo of your voice in a photograph
I try to hold on, but they slip through my hand
Like a whisper fading in a distant land
I'm trying to hide the pain I feel inside
With a smile on my face from the day you died
A little part of me left that day too
'Cause life ain't the same without you
(Verse 2)
I sit on the porch where we used to swing
Watching the birds, hearing church bells ring
And I wonder if you’re somewhere near
In the breeze on my skin or the song in my ear
I talk to the stars when I can't sleep
Praying you're safe, and your soul's at peace
I’d give anything for one more day
But the Lord had other plans, took you away
(Chorus)
Now pictures and memories are all I have
The echo of your voice in a photograph
I try to hold on, but they slip through my hand
Like a whisper fading in a distant land
I'm trying to hide the pain I feel inside
With a smile on my face from the day you died
A little part of me left that day too
'Cause life ain't the same without you
(Bridge)
I miss your laugh and your smile today
Didn’t realize they'd ever fade away
If I'd known it was the last goodbye
I'd have held on tighter, not let you slide by
Your chair’s still there, and your coat on the hook
And I still can’t finish your favorite book
(Final Chorus)
Now pictures and memories are all I own
They’re the light I find when I’m alone
I trace your face through these tears I cry
Wishing for one more “hello” before goodbye
I'm trying to hide the pain I feel inside
With a smile on my face the day you died
A little part of me died that day too
And I’ll spend forever missing you
(Outro)
So I talk to your picture and kiss your frame
Say your name softly like nothing's changed
But the silence reminds me, oh it's true...
When pictures and memories are all I have of you.
