In the world's mighty gallery of pictures

Hang the scenes that're painted from life

There's pictures of love and of passion

And there's pictures of keys and of strife

There hung pictures of youth and of beauty

Of old age and a blushing young bride

They all hung on the wall but the saddest of all

Are the pictures from life's other side

Just a picture from life's other side

Someone has fell by the way

A life has gone out with the tide

That might have been happy some day

There's a poor old mother at home

She's watching and waiting alone

Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear

Just a picture from life's other side
