8 X 10

In the still and silent morning, that's when I miss you most
Cardinals welcome in the sunrise, it sounds so sweet I'd spread it on my toast
I put syrup on my cornbread. I like cheese on apple pie
It's the way you always did it. I never thought to ask you why

Lick your thumb to thread a needle. Thin to win when cutting cards
Find that thing that you love doing. Then work hard, you work real hard
Take the 3rd when singing duets. Take the 5th if you need to lie
It's the way you always did it. I never thought to ask you why

I miss your cool hand on my fever
Your voice a long distance call
Trying to remember every single lesson
I got your picture on my wall

8 x 10 happy memories under glass inside a frame
There's a candle lit beside you, your eyes dancing in the flame
There you're staring at the camera with your Mona Lisa smile
It's the way you always did it, I never thought to ask you why

I miss your cool hand on my fever
Your voice a long distance call
Trying to remember every single blessing
I got your picture on my wall
