The picture that you painted, is a lost love and a memory
That once was mine.  I get a cold feeling
As I read the fine print between the lines
I see an old faded love scene
With roses in the garden
Lovers lane, a slow moving sign
You know I’ve burned all the pictures
But I can’t erase your memory from my mind

Chorus
Paint me a picture of a beautiful scene
Leave out the shadow of the unforgotten dream
Gently trace your smiling face
And turn the skies to blue
Paint me a picture that reminds me of you

Seems like only yesterday
The ol’ man painted a portrait of you and I
I get that same old feeling
As I stare into the beauty of your sparkling eyes
I see a silhouette of lovers strolling in the moonlight
Holding hands the way we used to do
You know I’ve thrown away the portraits
But I can’t throw away the memory of you

Chorus
Paint me a picture of a beautiful scene
Leave out the shadow of the unforgotten dream
Gently trace your smiling face
And turn the skies to blue
Paint me a picture that reminds me of you
Paint me a picture that reminds me of you
