Sideboard Picture
Music: Steve Macfarlane & Billy Hui, Lyrics: Steve Macfarlane, Billy Hui, Peter Grant

It’s only an old sepia photo of you
Yet the memories come flooding back
The way they always do

The laughs, the smiles, the tears
The seconds, hours, years . . .
The days the nights with your likeness
A sound that no one hears

Your picture stays the same
A life within a frame
Motionless and never sad
My love’s undying flame

Each day I give a loving glance
Together with a reminiscence
Oh how I wish it wasn’t just
a photograph

The laughs, the smiles, the fears
The days, the weeks, the years...
A flashback to the love we had
A sound that no one hears


Each day I give a loving glance
Together with a reminiscence
Oh how I wish it wasn’t just
a photograph, a photograph, a photograph

The laughs, the smiles, the fears
The days, the weeks, the years...
A flashback to the love we had
Your voice that no one hears

a photograph
