He stood in a beautiful mansion surrounded by riches untold

He gazed at a beautiful picture that hung in a frame of gold

Twas a picture of a lady so beautiful, young, and fair

If those lips could only speak, if those eyes could only see

Could I only take your hand as I did when you took my name
Slide 7**
It's only a beautiful picture in a beatiful golden frame

With all his great power and his riches he knows he can never replace

And each time he sees her picture these same words he'll always say
Slide 10**
All my wealth I would freely forfeit and toil for you night and day
Slide 11**
If those lips could only speak, if those eyes could only see
Slide 12**
He sat there and gazed at the painting, then slumbered, forgetting all pain
Slide 13**
And there in that mansion in fancy she stood by his side again
