Letra

Such a picture of loveliness

Didn't you notice the resemblance?

Doesn't it look like she could speak?

Those eyes I tried to capture

They are lost to me now forever

They smile for someone else

Funny, how looks can be deceiving

But she`s not easily

Painted from memory

You`d think that I would know by now

Those eyes I tried to capture

They are lost to me now forever

They smile for someone else

And so this had to be

Painted from memory

She is gone, and I must accept it

She is lost to me now

But I can`t look away just yet though

She smiles for someone else

And so this had to be

Painted from memory

Funny, now I can see

How looks can be deceiving

And so this had to be

Painted from memory

Funny, now I can see

How looks can be deceiving
