Lyrics
Picture Book of Time
I close my eyes and I?m with you again
I can hear your voice and feel the touch of your hand
It?s like you?re with me here today
I held your hand by the side of the bed
I told you that I loved you as I kissed your head
There?s always something more to say
Now these memories fill my mind
Like a picture book of time
Now we?ve turned the final page
Chorus:
When we cross to the other side of heaven
We will bathe in answered prayer
Oh the sights to behold
Hear the half that?s never been told
So I pray dear God that I will find her there
You gave me a hug and said I?m proud of you son
I love your wife and kids and the things they?ve done
And how they?ve carried on our name
As daddy helped you across the bedroom floor
He turned to hide his tears as he walked out the door
You know he never once complained
Pre Chorus:
Now these memories fill my mind
Like a picture book of time
Now we?ve turned the final page
Chorus:
When we cross to the other side of heaven
We will bathe in answered prayer
Oh the sights to behold
Hear the half that?s never been told
So I pray dear God that I will find her there
Instrumental
Repeat Pre Chorus and Chorus
