Such a picture of loveliness
Such a picture of loveliness
Didn't you notice the resemblance?
Didn't you notice the resemblance?
Doesn't it look like she could speak?
Doesn't it look like she could speak?


Those eyes I tried to capture
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else
They smile for someone else


Funny, how looks can be deceiving
Funny, how looks can be deceiving
 
But she's not easily
But she's not easily painted from memory
Painted from memory
 
 


You'd think that I would know by now
You'd think that I would know by now
Those eyes I tried to capture

They are lost to me now forever
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

And so this had to be
 
Painted from memory
And so this had to be painted from memory
 
 


She is gone, and I must accept it
She is gone, and I must accept it
She is lost to me now
She is lost to me now
But I can't look away just yet though
But I can't look away just yet though
She smiles for someone else
She smiles for someone else


And so this had to be

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving


And so this had to be painted from memory
