Hang My Picture
(Mark Fosson)
Be kind to my memory
when you do remember me.
Let the thought rest easy on the
pillow of the past.
Don't recall the tears and heartaches.
Let the years erase the mistakes.
Grab hold of something good and
try to make it last.
Hang my picture in
your mind, dust me
off from time to time,
where the light is
right and I won't
fade away.
I'll be smilin' from the wall
when your feet step down
the hall. Watchin' as you
go about your day.
Then speak my name
occasionally to a stranger
that you meet. Tell them
'bout a man you knew who
wasn't all that bad. Do one
little favor for me
recollect a funny story.
Something that will
make you smile
whenever you feel sad.
Hang my picture in
your mind...
Hold on to my used-to-be
when a dream's all that's
left of me.
Don't leave me in the dark.
Keep a candle burning
in the corner of your heart.
