Black and White Photograph

Hidden in my heart are dreams of the past.
Memories of someone I held dear.
While looking through a box of old photographs.
A picture of that someone did appear

Just an old black and white photograph, that
I took out of the yearbook yesterday.
And; I sent it to someone that I used to know
That lives in a town far away.

I wrote on the back of that old photograph,
A note that just said simply this.
Do you remember that night in the park?
And I asked you for a little kiss...

I've been waiting here for the mail to run.
Hoping for an answer to my prayer. 'cause
I just sent a message by the U. S. Mail.
To someone that I hope still cares.

I've waited for this day, for a lot of years.
I lost a lot of sleep and bitter tears.
I'm gonna wait here by this mailbox and pray.
The answer to my prayer will come someday...

If you come to visit; and see me sitting there
Don't be disappointed by my stare.
I'm waiting patiently for the mail to run.
And bring me an answer to my prayer.

'Bout an old black and white photograph, that
I took out of the yearbook yesterday.
And; I sent it to someone that I used to know
Hoping for an answer someday.
