8 X 10 Lyrics

- peak Billboard position # 53 in 1963
- Words and Music by Bill Anderson and
Walter Haynes
(8 by 10, 8 by 10)
SPOKEN: All that's left of our old love
now is just your picture, 8 by
10.
(A souvenir of things that might have
been)
(My lonely world is only 8 by 10)
(8 by 10, 8 by 10)
SPOKEN: I
remember the night that you gave me this picture.  I
ought
to-I've
relived it so many times.  I remember how I couldn't wait
to get home
and put in a
frame and tell everybody that you were
mine.
 Backups continue with (A souvenir of things that might
have
been)
while Bill SPEAKS: Because you WERE mine, at least till
someone else
came
along and took you off out of my sight.  It's a good
thing that you did
leave me your
picture, though.  Because now I can cry
on your shoulder every night.
(8 by 10, 8 by 10)
(My lonely world is only
8 by 10)
SPOKEN: It's awful to be jealous of an old picture frame but I'm
jealous
of anything
that's close to you.  And that picture frame seems to
be holding you
pretty tight.
That looks like more than I'LL ever do.  I
wish that I could just be the
glass in that
