I've been lettin' all my friends Take me mind off all the troubles They've all been glad to help me out for a while But your memory steps in and I'm turnin' back the pages Lookin' through old photographs and tryin' to find your smile [Chorus] Old photographs bring back sweet memories Lookin' at the way I held you then Old photographs keep you here with me 'Til I find a way to get back in the picture again Somethings never change as the years go on between us Like all my love for you still feels the same All those yesterdays that I wanted to remember Are sittin' here beside me where these old pictures lay [Chorus] 'Til I find a way to get back in the picture again
