I Picked Up The Picture By Richard Martin

I Picked Up The Picture       by Richard Martin    A 3/4               165

 

I picked up the picture that you threw away

One that we made dear on our wedding day

You looked so lovely, with a smile on your face

And you could see in my eye dear, no one could take your place

                          

You said you didn’t love me, and you couldn’t stay

And that you’ve grown to hate me more every day

You took out the picture and threw it on the ground

You said you’d be happy, with the new love you found

  

I looked at the picture and at your smiling face

One so beautiful, that God must have graced

Still, a pain fills my heart as I remember the day

You took out the picture and threw it away
