Painted from Memory — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Such a picture of loveliness

Didnt you notice the resemblance?

Doesnt 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 shes not easily

Painted from memory



Youd 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 cant 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
