       D                                G                             D 
In his hands he held an old box full of pictures that he had from his past 
  D                               G                            A 
A lifetime work of art though the ages, his dreams had been surpassed 
   G                                       A                          D     Bm 
He smiles as he sifts through them, from a day old boy to 60 year old man 
        D                          A                    D   
Then he came across a picture of a girl, her name was Suzanne 

  D                         G                             D 
‘63 was the year he met her on his way home from the factory 
              D                                 G                                A 
And from that day till now his life was so much better than he ever thought it'd be 
       G                                A                         D     Bm 
In the picture you could see a prize he won for her at the county fair 
           D                                A                             D 
It was the first of many years they spent together full of tender, loving care 
 
 
Chorus: 
              G       A              D  
She painted a picture, he colored it in 
                      G   A                   D   
Of a life filled with love, he felt his heart grin 
               G   A                 D       Bm 
She opened his mind to his love deep within 
              D       A              D  
She painted a picture, he colored it in 
 
 
Now he’s old and gray much like these photographs, they bring back memories 
He feels the sun so warm on his face and the smell of the breeze 
And it won’t be long before his time here on earth will come to an end 
There’s not a day that he would trade for his time with his sweet Suzanne 
 
Chorus
