PAINT A PICTURE

I want to paint a picture for you

To store within your heart

Something that sings, lightens your dreams

When your world's falling apart

I want to make your smile come home

Bond with your trembling lips

The ones you love, you're thinking of

Right here at your fingertips

This is what I really want to do...

Paint a picture for you

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Close your eyes, go ahead and cry

Don't fight the pain of loss

Say what you mean, go on and scream

We all know what it's cost...

Now...

Let yourself see a moment

Laughing with the one you love

Breathe it in...

Soak it up...

There's your picture

~~*~~

I want to paint a picture for you

To overshadow grief

Highlight the times, when their life shined

Planting magic true and deep

I want to frame what you remember

The magic is still there

It helps you keep, sweet memories

For when your heart needs repair

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Can you see the picture

Their hand holding yours

Can you hear the memories

The laughter you have stored

Now, come on, smile for me....

And set that laughter free...
