Grandpa in his tux and boutonnière
Grandma in her gown and train
And though they’re gone
they shine on through the years
In that old wooden picture frame
Uncle Johnny in Marine attire
standing on a foreign shore
Still warms the heart above a smoldering fire
though he never came home from the war
Long after this life’s over
love will shine on
In pictures on mantles
Eternal candles
Sparks that rekindle
yesterday
When fires fade to embers
and our life surrender
they will remember
the love we made
In pictures on mantles
The hands of time
they never hesitate
and only love will survive
And soon whatever life that we create
will be reduced to 3 by 5
And when we’re nothing more than memories
love will live on
In pictures on mantles
Eternal candles
Sparks that rekindle
yesterday
When fires fade to embers
and our life surrender
they will remember
the love we made
In pictures on mantles
And long after this life’s over
Love will shine on
In pictures on mantles
Eternal candles
Sparks that rekindle
yesterday
When fires fade to embers
and our life surrender
they will remember
the love we made
In pictures on mantles
