Trijntje Oosterhuis - Painted From Memory lyrics

Such a picture of loveliness Didn't you notice the difference? Doesn't it look like she could speak? Those eyes I try to capture They are lost to me 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 try to capture They are lost to me 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
