Those Pictures Mean A Whole Lot More These Days (single)

THOSE PICTURES MEAN A WHOLE LOT MORE THESE DAYS
(D.Carroll, Madkal Music, BMI)

HER MAMA SAT THERE ON THAT PORCH SWING STARING DOWN TO KEEP FROM CRYING
SHE COULDN’T STAND TO WATCH HER BABY DRIVE AWAY
SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY SHE BROUGHT HER IN THIS WORLD THERE’S NO DENYING
THAT’S SHE’S ALL GROWN UP AND LEAVING HOME TODAY

FOR YEARS THEY HANG THERE ON THE WALL WE BARELY NOTICE THEM AT ALL
BUT THOSE PICTURES MEAN A WHOLE LOT MORE THESE DAYS
YEA THOSE PICTURES MEAN A WHOLE LOT MORE THESE DAYS

MOM AND DAD STOOD THERE TOGETHER AS THEY PROMISED LOVE FOREVER
SIDE BY SIDE THROUGH GOOD AND BAD THEY FOUND A WAY
WITH HIS TWO HANDS HE WORKED THE GROUND THEY KEPT US FED AND SAFE AND SOUND
THEY JUST DON’T MAKE TOO MANY LIKE MY DAD THESE DAYS

FOR YEARS THEY HANG THERE ON THE WALL WE BARELY NOTICE THEM AT ALL
BUT THOSE PICTURES MEAN A WHOLE LOT MORE THESE DAYS
YEA THOSE PICTURES MEAN A WHOLE LOT MORE THESE DAYS

I CAN’T GO BACK TO THAT OLE HOME ALL BUT THE MEMORIES HAVE GONE
SO MANY THAT I KNEW AND LOVED HAVE GONE AWAY
BUT LIKE THE PICTURES IN MY MIND THEY JUST GROW DIMMER WITH THE TIME
BUT I’LL HOLD TO THEM TIGHT UNTIL MY DYING DAYS

FOR YEARS THEY HANG THERE ON THE WALL WE BARELY NOTICE THEM AT ALL
BUT THOSE PICTURES MEAN A WHOLE LOT MORE THESE DAYS
YEA THOSE PICTURES MEAN A WHOLE LOT MORE THESE DAYS
