Trace Adkins - Pictures On Mantles lyrics

Grandpa in his tux and boutonnière Grandma in her gown and train And though they're gone they shine on through the years In that old wooden picture frame Uncle Johnny in Marine attire standing on a foreign shore Still warms the heart above a smoldering fire though he never came home from the war Long after this life's over love will shine on In pictures on mantles Eternal candles Sparks that rekindle yesterday When fires fade to embers and our life surrender they will remember the love we made In pictures on mantles The hands of time they never hesitate and only love will survive And soon whatever life that we create will be reduced to 3 by 5 And when we're nothing more than memories love will live on In pictures on mantles Eternal candles Sparks that rekindle yesterday When fires fade to embers and our life surrender they will remember the love we made In pictures on mantles And long after this life's over Love will shine on In pictures on mantles Eternal candles Sparks that rekindle yesterday When fires fade to embers and our life surrender they will remember the love we made In pictures on mantles
