Masterpiece Lyrics

(Carolyn Dawn Johnson/Kye Fleming/Mary Ann Kennedy)

There were forty little houses in a place they called High River
And everyone knew Tim since the day he was born
He was a little different
Some might call it slow
But when Nellie moved to town
She saw his heart of gold

They found each other and never spent another day apart
Whoever would have dreamed
In his quiet eyes she`d find the piece
To make her life complete

Oh you could say it was a work of art
Like someone took a brush and painted there hearts
Together they made such a beautiful thing
And oh if there was anything that they could do right
It was painting love in the perfect light
So we could see
That love is a masterpiece

Yeah
Well Tim always had a little trouble with letters and numbers
So Nellie paid the bills and read all the mail
No one worked harder for miles around
Tim was the best farmhand and Nellie was proud

A year went by of saving their nickels and dimes
They had a little boy
They named him Daniel
And he became there pride and joy

Oh you could say it was a work of art
Like someone took a brush and painted there hearts
Together they made such a beautiful thing
And oh if there was anything that they could do right
It was painting love in the perfect light
So we could see that love is a masterpiece

Everybody said that they were so close to heaven
That they didn`t have far to go
Somehow it all made sense that they all went together
That night on that dark road

Oh you could say it was a work of art
Like someone took a brush and painted their hearts
Together they made such a beautiful thing
And oh if there was anything that they could do right
It was painting love in the perfect light
So we could see
That love is a masterpiece

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love is a masterpiece
Yeah
Love is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
Hooh
Love is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
