Story Behind the Song
When you look at old photos of folks from years ago... like family ancestors, do you ever wonder about what they were like? What would you say, if you could talk with them?
Lyrics
A book of old photographs covered in dust
the pages are dog-eared worn and frayed
the images are faded, but the faces are true
of those who loved and lived before me or you.
what was their pleasure,
what was their pain?
did they find true love,
did they find gain?
here's picture of newly weds...
holdin' each other tight
did they know passion, long in the night?
Chorus:
I almost hear their voices
from the other side
Ringing like echoes
through the years of time
I wonder what they we like,
when they were down here like us?
I hope I can meet them...
in sweet Heaven above
Here's the face of soldier, handsome and tall
who served in the great war,
they say saved us all
did he come home to his sweetheart,
a family to raise
or does he rest in a distant land,
in a field of stone graves. (chorus)
Years from this moment, when I am long gone
up there with Jesus, In my mansion home
In a book of old photographs,
will someone see my face
and wonder the same questions,
that I ask today? (chorus)
