Painted Picture

If I painted a picture

With red and black and white

I’d paint a heart, a rose

A moon in the twilight

If I drew you an ocean

As deep as my thoughts

I’d color this picture for you

And I’d sign it I miss you

If I painted a picture

Oh, if I painted a picture...

I'd paint it for you

And sign it I love you

If I painted a picture

With a house and a tree

A bird flying by

Soaring majestically

If I drew stars and the moon

This picture of peace

It still wouldn’t calm my soul

I’d still have this hole in me

If I painted a picture

Oh, if I painted a picture...

I'd paint it for you

And sign it I love you

If I painted a picture

A silhouette of two souls

I’d color one black, one white

One empty and one whole

The red would be a ribbon

Tied around an apple tree

To hold the fruits of our labor

Together for eternity

If I painted a picture

Oh, if I painted a picture...

I'd paint it for you

And sign it I love you
