lyrics

The smiles of everyone
I've got a picture of
are sparkling on my wall
The stars of my front hall

And I'm hanging on to them
Need to remember when
the kids were 2 foot 2
That hat looked good on you

CHORUS
Pictures of love
pictures of love
pictures of love are pictures of you

It's like you're standing there
Right on my Frigidaire
You kinda look surprised
Your dog has big red eyes

And I'm hanging onto this
across a wilderness
You're at the baby grand
I'm here in la-la land

(chorus)

The smiles of everyone
I've got a picture of
are sparkling on my wall
The stars of my front hall

(chorus)
