Kenny Rogers If I Were A Painting Lyrics

If I Were A Painting Lyrics

If I were a painting

Captured on canvas

Alone in the portrait I would stand



And brush strokes bold

Yet soft as a whisper

The work of a feminine hand



Caught in the still life

Surrounded by shadows

Or lost in a background of blue



If I were a painting

My price would be pain

And the artist would have to be you



I imagine the colors

Would all run together

If you ever allowed me to cry



So don't paint the tears

Just let me remember me

Without you in my life



It's only the frame

That holds me together

Or else I'd be falling apart



If I were a painting

I wouldn't feel

And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
