if i were a painter



..if i were a painter..

i would paint you a top the nearest cloud

there you would sit and watch me daily

and it would be as if you were never really gone

you see,  i have missed you for so long

..if i were a painter..

i would paint you as a bird

there you would sit a top the nearest tree

and it would be as if you were never really gone

i would hold my arm out as branch where you can land when your wings get too heavy to fly

..if i were a painter..

i would paint you a top the moon

there you would sit as i lay sleeping

and it would be as if you were never really gone

you see,  i have missed you for so long

you would shine like diamonds on the velvet sky

you would put each star to shame while the angels sing your favorite tune

..if i were a painter..

i would paint you back into my life

there you would be

somewhere with me

anywhere you want to be

just as long as it is with me

and it would be as if you were never really gone

oh how i wish my brush could take me there

but even the finest brush could not paint you here

so i will paint you into my dreams

i'll be seeing you

wait for me atop the nearest cloud..

..wait for me atop the nearest tree

wait for me atop the moon

i'll be seeing you soon
