In memory of Bessie and Evan Call

Words and Music by Cherie Call

lyrics

Here's a picture of him
He is standing with his thumb out in the wind
A traveling preacher
With his suitcase and book that saves your soul
He's far from home

Here's a picture of her
In the backyard on a warm day in summer
Just a baby
Taking care of everyone the best she can
Living off the land

It was all they could do to just be brave
But they smiled for the camera anyway
And sometimes all you can do is just take a picture and hold your place in time
As the days go by, the days go by, the days go by

When they met at the dance
Her card was full but she still gave him a chance
Cause there was something
In his eyes that just would not let her go
And she didn't know
That she'd be here dressed in white
Sweet and shy before her neighbors threw the rice
And she is standing
With the tall handsome man who stole her heart
And they will never part

And the rest of the world could fade away
But they smiled for the camera anyway
And sometimes all you can do is just take a picture and hold your place in time
As the days go by, the days go by, the days go by

Days go by in blazing color
But the memories look best in black and white
And the looks on the faces tell a story of a lifetime
Of laughter and tears when you read between the lines

Now she's studying his face
And he is living in another time and place
She glues his pictures into big memory books so she won't forget
And she hasn't yet

And she longs for that great reunion day
But she smiles for the camera anyway
Sometimes all you can do is just
Take a picture and hold your place in time
As the days go by, the days go by, the days go by
