It’s just a faded picture of you as a baby
Smiling in your highchair, hair soft and wavy
I’m by your side and you’re touching my hand
Even then, you were a tough, little man

Things have changed so much over the years
I look at more photos and I cry a little tear
You’re playing baseball, and hit it clean through
That cap and gown sure looked good on you

In pictures, keeping you close to me
In pictures, on our vaity and
I’m finding the comfort that I need..
Cause you’re building a bridge across eternity..in pictures ..in pictures

Left your wife and your baby, before he was born
Now he looks at your picture in that new uniform
He’s smiling and laughing and oh by the way
He pointed and said “daddy” for the first time today..

At your picture, keeping you close to me
In your picture, on top of our TV and
I’m finding the comfort that I need..
Cause you’re building a bridge across eternity… in pictures..in pictures

Bridge:

In pictures, I keep holding on- saying my prayers till you come back home
Cause I’ts like youve been here all along

In pictures, keeping you close to me
Tied with a ribbon to that old oak tree and
I’m finding the comfort that I need..
Cause you’re building a bridge across eternity..in pictures…in pictures

In pictures…hm..hm…hm…in pictures
