FRESCO
I've been waiting for a night like tonight
For so very, very long
Sitting here studying the portrait of my life
Wondering just where the artist went wrong
So why does my sketch in black and white
Contain so many deep, dark shades of gray?
My life before today had left me feeling sad and blue
When I'm with you I never want to say goodbye
To someone so beautiful that the angels sigh
I think of you in thoughts so kind
I painted your picture, it took me some time
You are the one that makes my life worth living
Yours is the last face I see before I fall asleep
You'll never be the one to break my heart
Never leave me alone to weep
Now all thoughts of retracing my past
They have become erased
And I live within your eyes
With each new line I'm redefined
Every time I draw your face
When I'm with you I never want to say goodbye
To someone so beautiful that the angels sigh
I think of you in thoughts so kind
I painted your picture, I could paint it blind
I drink to your health as I raise my glass
Toasting to a future and time that has not yet passed
As time crawls by and I stare above
I believe only in you - my muse - my love
Now all thoughts of retracing my past
They have become erased
And I live within your eyes
With each new line I'm redefined
Every time I draw your face
When I'm with you I never want to say goodbye
To someone so beautiful that the angels sigh
I think of you in thoughts so kind
