Carolyn Dawn Johnson - Masterpiece lyrics

There were forty little houses And 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 Nelly moved to town she saw his heart of gold They found each other and never spent another day apart Whoever would have dreamed that in his quiet eyes She'd find the peace to make her life complete Chorus Oh you could say it was a work of art That someone took a brush and painted their hearts Together they made such a beautiful thing 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 Tim always had a little trouble with letters and numbers So Nelly paid the bills and read all the mail No one worked harder for miles around Tim was the best farm hand And Nelly was proud A year went by of saving their nickels and dimes They had a little boy They named him Daniel He became their pride and joy Chorus Everyone said that they were so close to heaven That they didn't have far to go Somehow it all made sense they went together That night on that dark road Chorus Hey Love is a masterpiece Love is a masterpiece Hey yeah Love is a masterpiece Is a masterpiece Love is a masterpiece Love is a masterpiece Love is a masterpiece
