Paint Me A Picture

Paint me a picture
just any ol' view

Paint me a picture
you can make one or
make two

Paint me the sunset
name what you will
paint me a ride oh
what a thrill

Paint me a heart
for I have none you
see

Paint me some love
for you and for me.

This is a pretty thing

Sort of bittersweet. It’s a little sad but you say it with tact and beauty. The painting metaphors are working because they’re simple and common to all readers.

Well done,
Tim
