Elvis Costello Painted From Memory Lyrics

Painted From Memory Lyrics

Such a picture of loveliness 
Didn`t you notice the resemblance? 
Doesn`t 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 she`s not easily 
Painted from memory 

You`d 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 can`t 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
