Old Photographs Lyrics by Charley Pride
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Al Urban)

Here is one that we took one Sunday afternoon
I remember it was in the summer time
On the back it says eight-eleven-sixty-five
The same day you promised to be mine.

But old pictures have a way of fading
Like a love that wasn't meant to be
Still each night I dig out the family album
But old photographs sure get to me.

--- Instrumental ---

Here it is it's the last one that we took together
Though it's faded a little more than the rest
I suppose it's because of all the tearstains on it
Bet it's the one that to me you look the best.

Yes, old pictures have a way of fading
Like a love that wasn't meant to be
Still each night I dig out the family album
But old photographs sure get to me.

Yes, old photographs sure get to me...
