Painted From Memory Songtext
von Cassandra Wilson

Such a picture of loveliness
Didn′t you notice the resemblance?
Doesn't it look like he could speak?

Those eyes I tried to capture
They′re lost to me now forever
He smiles for someone else

Funny how looks can be deceiving
But he's not easily painted from memory


You'd think that I would know by now
Those eyes I tried to capture
They′re lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

And so this had to be painted from memory

He is gone, and I must accept it
He is lost to me now
But I can′t look away just yet though
He smiles for someone else

Funny, now I can see how looks can be deceiving

Funny, now I can see how looks can be deceiving
