In an Old Fashioned Picture Book |
| Come take a look with me in an old fashioned picture book |
| Patience, the girl we see on the sand with the squint and parasol low |
| Sweethearts are sewn 'tween the cloth of her cuff |
| A shell in her little tight hand; |
| soon she’ll be going away |
| With her bottle of sand tomorrow from the shores of yesterday |
| Come see her move and be in our old fashioned backward look |
| Just like an old movie, talking and real like when it was took |
| Bats, balls and Tomboys, cheeky and gruff |
| Faint sounds of a distant brass band, who rides the donkey today |
| Will our visions of tomorrow mingle with those of yesterday? |
| Come, close your eyes and hear melodies from an old music box |
| Tinkling as tandems and tears go tumbling like tresses and small perfumed locks |
| Sweet dreams were sewn 'tween the years of her life |
| A tear in her little kerchief, waving and fading away |
| With her ottled sand tomorrow, from thnbe shores of yesterday |
| Will her visions of tomorrow mingle with those of yesterday? |
| Come take a look with me in an old fashioned picture book |
