Here's a little girl playin' dress up

Somewhere under all that lace

Standin' in her mama's high heeled shoes

With a lipstick covered face

And here's a little boy on a pony

He's a cowboy all the way

He used to pull my hair and make me mad

At the Saturday matinee

Who would've thought that I'd lose my heart

To the same little boy someday



(Chorus)



Lookin' through my old pictures

Faded photographs

Some of them bring me close to tears

Others make me laugh

Old memories seem to come alive

And open up the past again

And let me dream inside



Here's brother with his first automobile

Thought he'd washed the paint away

He took a job that took him West

He's doing very well

We don't see much of brother these days

And this is my favorite of my papa

He's dressed up in his Sunday suit

A wide brimmed hat, a watch on a chain

Well, I'm gonna tell you the truth

It's a picture of a downright handsome man

Caught in the prime of his youth



(Repeat Chorus)



They open up the past again and let me dream inside
