The Sweetsers - Picture Frames

We had packed our bags
And moved the family
To a place I'd never known
There were sad goodbyes
And quiet longing
For a place to call my own

And what I had
I would take with me
But sad to say
I'd missed the truth
That all our lives
Are more than places
They're more than verses to a song
They're the tune

She had photographs
Of every birthday
Of her father's love
For the farm
Her most sacred days
In picture frames
She would tell you all
She'd done

And what she had
She will leave with you
But what she learned
She will not lose
Because our lives
Are more than places
They're more than verses to a song
They're the tune

Now, there are clean floors
And empty spaces
Where there once was a home
And all the things we have
Are packed in boxes
Labeled well and stacked along the wall

And what I had
I will take with me
And what I learned
I will not lose
Because our lives
Are more than places
They're more than verses to a song
They're the tune
