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
ย
Funny, how looks can be deceiving
But she's not easily painted from memory
ย
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
ย
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 (deceiving) how looks can be deceiving
(And so this had to be painted from memory)
Funny, now I can see (deceiving) how looks can be deceiving
(And so this had to be painted from memory)
(Funny, how looks can be deceiving)
