Randy Travis Lyrics
"Old 8 X 10"

(Joe Chambers - Larry Jenkins)

Well, I know it ain't much
But it's all that I have since she's gone
One black and white mem'ry
Of the only love I've ever known
One moment in time
When we were together
A page from the past
To haunt me forever
A constant reminder that hearts
Heal much slower than bones.

Chorus:
Now my whole world's in one 8 x 10
With four metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window
'Neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8 x 10 picture of us.

I wish I'd have told her what I felt inside
Back when her sweet love was flowing like wine
I wish she'd come back and love me again
The way that she loved me in that old 8 x 10.

Now the silence Is deaf'ning
As the day turns to dark
Her presence gets stronger
With each beat of my heart.

I pretend that she's here
And we've made a new start
For a moment
She's back in my arms.

Chorus:
Now my whole world's in one 8 x 10
With four metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window
'Neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8 x 10 picture of us.

There's an 8 x 10 picture of us...
