Lyrics

Family Portrait

Verse: I stand before you now yellow roses in my hand the ones you loved so much in life as my wife I'll set them here beside this cold unlettered stone Our house now is up for sale and the bank's about to repossess They can take it all but the memories of us As I walked through the front door for the very last time our family portrait hung alone on that barren wall Oh Oh God Tommy was so small

Chorus: This family Portrait is all that I have left it reminds me of a life that used to be
This family portrait I hold dearly in my arms close to my heart where you'll always be
Mmm next to me

Verse: I try so hard to understand why God took you right from my hands now I'm hardly livin' I need something to believe in You know right now I'm a broken man not the one you knew The horrid scene of that awful wreck keeps playin' in my mind He can take it all but the memories are mine Your holy book slipped off the dash then I heard the deafening crash the wheel cut loose as I reached down for those sacred words How could I how could I not see that curve

Chorus: This family portrait is all that I have left it reminds me of a life that used to be
This family Portrait I hold dearly in my arms close to my heart where you'll always be

Bridge: Now I'm riddled in doubt Just wanna check out
won't you show me a sign

I finally came to understand the grander plan the Good Lord made for two angels working side by side within his light You see with lightning speed nothing left to lose started racing down that winding road then my car just stalled and slowly stopped at that very spot I gazed in awe at the shoulder's edge there grew a yellow rose Now I do believe when my time will come by the pearly gates you and Tommy will wait with open arms and a great big smile great big smile
