Píseň: Painted from Memory

Interpret:
Elvis Costello
Album:
Painted from Memory
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
