Verse 1
Old photograph album
Soft with age
Morning sunlight
Finds the page
Careful fingers turning
One by one
Little worlds awaken
In the sun
Children laughing softly
Down the lane
Welcome back once more
To yesterday
Verse 2
Walking slowly to school
School bell calls
Little satchels waiting
Garden walls
Don’t step on drains
Secret little games
Blackbirds singing
Martins diving
Morning sunshine dancing
Through the trees
Every path felt magical
On the breeze
Chorus
More than a photograph
More than yesterday
Every page remembers
More than words can say
More than a photograph
More than we can see
Every page still whispers
Come and walk with me
Verse 3
Summer rain on warm stone
The smell of summer rain
Still feels like home
Bees in fuchsias
Lazy summer air
Butterflies flitting
Everywhere
Church bells drifting
On the breeze
Elm trees dancing
With the leaves
Blackbirds filled the hedgerows
Morning song
Summer seemed
To last so long
Verse 4
Winter morning sunlight
Frosty glass
Bedroom window
Cold as ice
Breath like smoke
Morning air
Chimney shadows
Everywhere
Robin on the gatepost
Welcomed every dawn
Breaking winter silence
Till the day was born
Verse 5
Fresh cut grass
Cricket green
Buttercups dancing
Brightest seen
Dad watering tomatoes
Nice and slow
Warm earth after rainfall
Helped the garden grow
Neighbours chatting
Garden walls
Children laughing
Summer calls
Verse 6
Church bells ringing
Quarter past
Time moved gently
Never fast
Blue skies drifting
Clouds so high
Swallows turning
Through the sky
Evening sunshine
Golden glow
Little feet walking slow
Bridge (Key Change)
Every picture breathing
In my mind
Every precious moment
Left behind
Close your eyes
Stay awhile
Every memory
Starts to smile
Final Chorus
More than a photograph
More than yesterday
Every page remembers
More than words can say
More than a photograph
Living in the heart
Time may turn the pages
Love won’t drift apart
Last Verse
Evening settles
Children dream
Curtains closing
Moonlight gleams
The album closes
Soft and slow
But where those children
Always go…
Only hearts
Will ever know.
