Lyrics
Picture
Bob Sachnoff And Clarke Ganshaw
Verse 1: That picture stares
down at me
as it hangs
upon the wall
Verse 2: The story it has
locked inside
with words
I can't recall
Chorus 1: Got Myself this picture that is hanging in the hall showing that in my life there are things that mean much more looking at this picture is like opening a door,
the things that I will find there I am really still not sure
Verse 3: Could it be the story
of the rise
maybe the fall
Verse 4: An image that is
so strong
like the wind
before the squall
Chorus 2: Got Myself this picture that is hanging in the hall showing that in my life there are things that mean much more looking at this picture is like opening the door, peering into the world that the painter only saw
Bridge: I want to know what it wants to show I want to say Why this picture makes feel this way Why I still look at it day by day
Chorus 3: Got Myself this picture that is hanging in the hall showing that in my life there are things that mean much more looking at this picture is like opening the door, the things that I will find there I am really still not sure peering into the world that the painter only saw
