Old Photographs

**Verse 1:** Found a box up in the attic Full of faces I once knew Younger versions of my parents Back when everything was new They were standing by the ocean Salt wind in their hair And I realized in that moment I was almost there **Chorus:** Old photographs, old photographs Frozen moments from the past Old photographs, old photographs Nothing gold is meant to last But these images remind me Of the love that came before Old photographs, old photographs Open every door **Verse 2:** There's my grandmother at twenty Looking like my daughter now Same smile, same stubborn chin Same determined brow We're all just links in a chain Reaching back through time Old photographs, the proof That I'm part of a line **Chorus:** Old photographs, old photographs Frozen moments from the past Old photographs, old photographs Nothing gold is meant to last But these faces keep on smiling Through the years and through the rain Old photographs, old photographs Love remains **Bridge:** (Tender, melodic) Mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm-mmm, photographs Mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm Looking at the past (Harmonies join) **Final Chorus:** Old photographs, old photographs Showing me who I am Old photographs, old photographs Part of something grand And someday I'll be the face In somebody else's hands Old photographs, old photographs Help me understand Old photographs **Outro:** (Fingerpicked guitar, melody hummed) Old photographs (Fading, like a memory)
