"Pictures On The Wall"
Lyrics and Music by Jenn Cristy

lyrics

He sits back and looks past the pictures on the wall
As if he’s lost to their memories
He’s hearing laughter from the faces trapped in time
In the silence of his mind

At nineteen he fell in love with his wife
Before he even knew her name
The same night their lips touched for the first time
The news he’d be leaving his love to fight came
He said

If I was gone tomorrow
Would you still feel me here
From the gateway I’d send a message of where I’m going
But until then just hold me near

At 27 they learned what heartbreak really was
Who knew to love a stranger could be so hard
But when no cries were heard after she was pushing through
They felt they lost their one true love
His wife said

If I was gone tomorrow
Would you still feel me here
From the gateway I’d send a message of where I’m going
But until then just hold me near

At 52 he walked her down the shortest aisle
All but strangers watched in this room
And though their arms were wrapped so tight he could feel her shaking
He knew he had to let go of her soon
His girl said

If I was gone tomorrow
Would you still feel me here
From the gateway I’d send a message of where I’m going
But until then just hold me near

At 94 his face can tell all of his stories
But she doesn’t recognize him at all
And as a reminder he squeezed her hand so gently
Her last breath was like a long distance call

I’ll be gone tomorrow
But you’ll still feel me near
From the gateway I’ll send a message of where I’m going
But until then just hold me here
But until then just hold me here

He sits back and looks past the pictures on the wall
As if he’s lost to their memories
