ONLY YOUR PICTURE

I’m on the road with only your picture tonight
Baby, I’ll phone home, but I won’t hold you tonight
Don’t get me wrong, I’m up where I belong, in these lights
When I hang up, well, I could break down and cry
I’m on the road with only your picture tonight
I love the backstage parties, but I swear – I swear
Another show? Another place? Who knows where? And do we care?
I live for you and honey, I wish that I could just be there tonight
The crowds are great, so bittersweet is this life
I’m on the road with only your picture tonight
It’s the one I took of you when we first met
Those laughing eyes, that smile I just can’t forget
I’m loving you forever, and at the end of the last show’s last set,
you’ll hear me sigh
I’ll see your picture and I’ll thank God I’m alive
I live for you and I’ll love you till I die
I’m on the road with only your picture tonight
