If Those Lips Could Only Speak Chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]He [D]stood in a
beautiful man[G]sion
Surrounded by riches un[C]told
He [D]gazed at a beautiful picture
That hung in a frame of [G]gold
T 'was a picture [C]of a [G]lady
So beautiful, young, and [C]fair
To the [D]beautiful life -like features
He murmured in sad des[G]pair
If those lips could [C]only [G]speak
[D]If those [G]eyes could only [D]see
If those beautiful [Am]golden [D]tresses
were there in [G]reality
Could I only [C]take your [G]hand
as I did when you took my [D]name
But it's only a [Am]beautiful pic[D]ture
in a beautiful golden [G]frame
With [D]all of his power and [G]riches,
he knows he can never [C]replace
One [D]thing in the [Am]mansion
[D]that's [Am]absen[D]t,[Am]
his [D]wife's tender smiling [G]face
And each time [C]he sees her pic[G]ture,
these words he will always [C]say
All my [D]wealth I'd freely forfeit
And toil for you night and [G]day[D][Am][D][G]
We [D]sat there and gazed at the [G]painting
Then slumbered forgetting all [C]pain
And [D]there in that mansion in fancy
She stood by his side [G]again
Then his lips, they [C]softly mur[G]mured
The name of his once sweet [C]bride
With his [D]eyes fixed on a picture
He awoke from his dream and [G]cried
If those lips could [C]only [G]speak
If those eyes could only [D]see
If those beautiful [Am]golden [D]tresses
Were there in [G]reality
Could I only [C]take your [G]hand
As I did when you took my [D]name
But it's only a [Am]beautiful pic[D]ture
in a beautiful golden [G]frame
If those lips could [C]only [G]speak
and those eyes could only [D]see
If those beautiful [Am]golden [D]tresses
were there in reality
[G]Could [D]I o[G]nly t[C]ake your h[G]and,
as I did when you took my [D]name?
But it's only a beauti[Am]ful pict[D]ure
in a beautiful golden frame.
[G]
