Pictures of Us

On a westbound train headed for Niagara Falls
Talking to my little boy about the history of us all
‘Tell me Daddy, all about the time when you and Mom were young’

Back at home, I’m still trying to recall
I start to roam and I wind up in the hallway
Spread across the walls is the evidence of how we’ve come so far, in these…

Pictures of us – suit and a wedding gown
Pictures of us – at the ocean as the sun goes down
From here on out, I don’t know what we’ll see
But I know, I know there’ll be pictures of you and me

A thousand words in every 3 x 5
Glossy reminders of our glorious ride
Frozen moments calling out to me from these frames, all these…

Pictures of us – little kids and Halloween
Pictures of us – presents underneath the Christmas tree
From here on out, I don’t know what we’ll see
But I know, I know there’ll be pictures of you and me

Down the road there’ll be so much to see
Things I can’t yet even dream of
Graduations, wedding days and families
And always you, always you, always you and me

Down in the basement, got that slide projector out
Dust off that old screen and take those carousels down
Revisit once again all those places that I never want to leave, all those…

Pictures of us – vacation catastrophes
Pictures of us – funny moments that bring me to my knees
From here on out, I don’t know what we’ll see
But I know, I know there’ll be…

Pictures of us – is that me or is that my dad?
Pictures of us – the worst hairstyle that I ever had
From here on out, I don’t know what we’ll see
But I know, I know there’ll be pictures of you and me
