Faded Memories

[Verse] There's a faded photo on the mantel, Of mom and dad in their prime, Their smiles like stars across a field, Shining through the mists of time. [Verse 2] On a porch swing in a small town, Their love was simple and pure, With a dog lying at their feet, Silent promises assured. [Chorus] Old memories come alive, In that captured moment's glow, Heartstrings tug with every glance, Of that faded photo on the mantel. [Verse 3] Dad in his flannel and work boots, Mom with her dress and pearls, Their faces light up the room, Like two angels sent to this world. [Verse 4] Sometimes when the night falls quiet, I swear I hear their laughter ring, Through the years, through the tears, Their love's the song I sing. [Chorus] Old memories come alive, In that captured moment's glow, Heartstrings tug with every glance, Of that faded photo on the mantel.
