There are pictures on the piano
Pictures of the family
Mostly my kids but there's an old
Picture of you and me
You were five and I was six
In 1952
That was forty years ago
How could it be true?
We were sitting outside drawing
At a table meant for cards
And it must have been in autumn
Falling leaves in the front yard
With a shoe box full of crayons
Full of colors oh so bright
In a picture in a plastic frame
A snapshot black and white
You were looking at my paper
Watching what I drew
It was natural: I was older
Thirteen months more than you
A brother and a sister
A little boy and girl
And whoever took that picture
Captured our own world
Pictures of the family
Mostly my kids but there's an old
Picture of you and me
You were five and I was six
In 1952
That was forty years ago
How could it be true?
We were sitting outside drawing
At a table meant for cards
And it must have been in autumn
Falling leaves in the front yard
With a shoe box full of crayons
Full of colors oh so bright
In a picture in a plastic frame
A snapshot black and white
You were looking at my paper
Watching what I drew
It was natural: I was older
Thirteen months more than you
A brother and a sister
A little boy and girl
And whoever took that picture
Captured our own world
