[00:05.10]In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
[00:09.75]Hang the scenes that're painted from life
[00:14.46]There's pictures of love and of passion
[00:19.08]And there's pictures of keys and of strife
[00:23.76]There hung pictures of youth and of beauty
[00:26.61]Of old age and a blushing young bride
[00:33.21]They all hung on the wall but the saddest of all
[00:38.37]Are the pictures from life's other side
[00:43.20]Just a picture from life's other side
[00:48.27]Someone has fell by the way
[00:53.37]A life has gone out with the tide
[00:58.38]That might have been happy some day
[01:03.42]There's a poor old mother at home
[01:08.34]She's watching and waiting alone
[01:13.50]Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear
[01:18.63]Just a picture from life's other side
[01:23.88]The first scene is that of a gambler
[01:28.56]Who had lost all of his money at play
[01:33.36]And he drowses dead mother's ring from his finger
[01:38.22]Which she wore long ago on her wedding day
[01:43.50]It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
[01:48.45]Then bows his head that his shame he might hide
[01:53.43]But when they lifted his head they found he was dead
[01:58.65]That's just a picture from life's other side
[02:03.78]Now the last scene is that by the river
[02:08.91]Of a heartbroken mother and baby
[02:14.10]As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
[02:19.23]On an outcast, soon no one will save
[02:24.63]And yet she was once a true woman
[02:29.34]She was somebody's darling and pride
[02:34.56]God help her she leaps, oh there's no one to weep
[02:39.87]It's just a picture from life's other side
