PICTURE OF YOU, A
(Horton / Biggs / Merenstein)


Solomon Burke - 1956



I'm holding in my hand
A picture of you
And I can't understand
Why you say we're through

I see your dear sweet lips
That once thrilled me so
It breaks my heart to think
That you would let me go

Please say it's just a dream
While I'm far away
Please say no other arms
Are holding you today

I'm holding in my hand
A picture of you
Please write and say
You wish that I were holding you

(Instrumental Break)

Please say it's just a dream
While I'm far away
Please say no other arms
Are holding you today

I'm holding in my hand
A picture of you
Please write and say
You wish that I were holding you
