[Intro] She was just a girl, in a picture, in a box on a shelf that I hadn’t seen in years Don’t remember her name, but I remember what she wore I wondered where she might be living today I wondered if her life turned out ok We had our little fling while she was visiting a friend I think it was 1969, don’t remember exactly when Just a couple of teens, caught each other’s eye Wish I could remember more, but time has flown on by Funny how a picture you had totally forgotten about Brings back memories, that begin to pour out May not be exactly as you remembered But it still brings a smile, a feeling, so tinder She was just a girl, in a picture, in a box on a shelf that I hadn’t seen in years Don’t remember her name, but I remember what she wore I wondered where she might be living today I wondered if her life turned out ok [Instrumental interlude] It wasn’t the girl so much as my life was then The world was mine, way back in that time Not a care what the future might have in store I gave no thought about growing old She was just a girl, in a picture, in a box on a shelf that I hadn’t seen in years Don’t remember her name, but I remember what she wore I wondered where she might be living today I wondered if her life turned out ok So I’ll put the picture back in the box and smile a little smile And try to remember to look once in a while Reminisce about a time i still hold so dear And see once again the picture of the girl, in a box on the shelf…maybe next year. She was just a girl, in a picture, in a box on a shelf…..that I hadn’t seen…..in years [Instrumental fade out]
