Golden Picture Frames

Once upon a time, two people fell in love in Medford, Oklahoma
A simple "hello" turned into an "it would be nice to get to know ya"
Under a red bud tree she was still pretty green
When he asked her to marry
It didn't take long they started having kids
Just babies having babies
Over 15 years they ended up with 12, and I know that sounds crazy
And they say youngest tells the story
And I'm the last grandkid of forty
There's still a white house at the end of 7th south
Where a whole lotta life got lived
And I remember Christmas on that corduroy couch
Being all filled up with kids
All the faces in the photographs
Stories hanging up in the hallways
The memories don't fade away
I take them with me in my heart today
In golden picture frames
Just like that hallway, my heart is full of memory after memory
Every Sunday dinner, every random get-together
Every birthday, every wedding
Some of us have moved away, yeah a whole lot's changed
But I still see it all, and I can still say
There's a little white house at the end of 7th south
Where a whole lotta life got lived
And I remember Christmas on that corduroy couch
Being all filled up with kids
All the faces in the photographs
Stories hanging up in the hallways
The memories won't fade away
I take them with me in my heart today
In golden picture frames
If that old house that I once knew
Gets torn down or painted blue
I can always close my eyes
And see a white house at the end of 7th south
Where a whole lotta life got lived
Even if they throw out that corduroy couch
That was all filled up with kids
I'll still see the faces in the photographs
Hanging in the hallways
Cause memories don't fade away
They're right here with me in my heart today
In golden picture frames
