Portrait- Danny Plett

Today I drove home in the rain,
feeling that old familiar pain,
up at six pm,
cried cold tears again,
why do I always hurt you with what I say and do,
tell me when will my image be the image of you.

This and only this: is my heart felt wish:

Please paint a portrait
of a man that`s seen through your eyes,
paint a portrait of what you make me to be...

To begin and never cease,
paint a single masterpiece,
paint in my eyes your love enfold me but a trace.

Paint a portrait in the likeness of your face.

Awake my soul be sleepless,
Awake to be the empty canvas,
Paint my soul so clear,
Paint it evergreen.

Paint your heart within me,
fill the picture frame,
create me master artist and sign me with your name.

This and only this and my heart felt wish/ filled with:

Chorus

Once I was a faded old forgotten photograph living
in an attic that I built there for myself.
But he put his heart within me and he filled the picture frame, and then the master artist picked me up & signed me with his name.

Chorus

Paint a portrait (3x)
in the likeness of your face.
