Love Song to a Girl in an Old Photo Lyrics

Love song to a girl in an old photograph

Your face it is yesterdays
Part of the dead and gone
Still I can't forget it
So I wrote you this song

I saw you in a photograph
Staring out to sea
I wondered what was in your mind
As you stared so wistfully

And time goes on
As I sing this song

The sun drenched your dress of white
And warmed your upswept hair
Your eye's fixed on the flowing tide
But your thoughts just weren't there

Ahh that was sixty years ago
When you were just nineteen
With the quiet grace and dignity
Of any storybook queen

And time goes on
As I sing this song

And though you died so long ago
Your still alive to me
And somewhere on a rocky beach
Your still staring out to sea

The sun still lights your girlish face
And warms your soft brown hair
And like the oceans endless tide
You'll always be there

And time goes on
As I sing this song
And time goes on
As I sing this song

And time goes on
As I sing this song
