Old Faded Pictures by Eddie Ray Arnold Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh yeah, Oh, Oh...
[Verse1]
While I was cleaning up my closet
I found things I thought we'd lost
I pulled out some old photos
That lay inside a box
And as I sorted slowly
I fought back some tears
That were brought on by emotions
As I looked back through the years
[Chorus]
The time we went to Destin
Back after our first child
That trailer we had lived in
Back off the road a mile
Our first road trip to Disney
We took with some old friends
And we promised that someday we would
Visit there again
It seems like yesterday
But it’s been several years
Old faded pictures can make memories
So clear
[Verse 2]
I stood there for what must have been
Almost half a day
Looking back at where we were
And some of our old ways
So I quickly grabbed an album
To throw them all away
But there simply wasn't any room
For all that we had made
[Chorus]
A weekend at the lake
For a birthday now and then
Our first plan trip to Denver
To see some of my old friends
Skiing through the powder
In the Rocky Mountain snow
And the storm that hit the very day
When it was time to go
It seems like yesterday
But it's been several years
Old faded pictures can make memories
So clear
[Bridge]
I put the box back in the closet
And smiled from ear to ear
Sometimes it’s good to take the time
To travel through the years
[Chorus]
Out west to San Diego
And up north to Gatlinburg
On east to the Atlantic
To walk along the surf
Swinging on the front porch
Or just playing in the yard
There's so many memories
That we have shared so far
It seems like yesterday
But it's been several years
Old faded pictures can make memories
So clear
[Tag]
Old faded pictures can make memories So clear
Oh yeah, Oh, Oh...
[Verse1]
While I was cleaning up my closet
I found things I thought we'd lost

[Chorus]

That trailer we had lived in
Back off the road a mile
Our first road trip to Disney
We took with some old friends
And we promised that someday we would
Visit there again
It seems like yesterday
But it’s been several years
Old faded pictures can make memories
