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
