Foster And Allen – If Those Lips Could Only Speak lyrics

CHORUS:
If those lips could only speak,
If those eyes could only see,
If those beautiful golden tresses
Were here in reality.
Could I only take your hand
As I did when you took my name;
But it's only a beautiful picture
In a beautiful golden frame.

He stood in a beautiful mansion
Surrounded by riches untold,
And he gazed at the beautiful picture
That hung in a frame of gold.
'Twas the picture of a lady
So beautiful young and fair.
To this beautiful lifelike vision
He murmured in sad despair.

He stood there and gazed on that picture,
Then slumbering, forgetting all pain;
For there in that mansion, in fancy,
She stood by his side again.
His lips, they softly murmured
The name of his one sweet bride.
With his eyes fixed on that picture
He awoke from his dream and cried.
