Burt Bacharach
Painted from Memory
[Verse 1]
Such a picture of loveliness
Didn't you notice the resemblance?
Doesn't it look like she could speak?
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

[Chorus]
Funny, how looks can be deceiving
But she's not easily painted from memory

[Verse 2]
You'd think that I would know by now
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

[Chorus]
And so this had to be painted from memory

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
(And so this had to be painted from memory)
Funny, now I can see how looks can be deceiving

[Chorus]
(And so this had to be painted from memory)
Funny, now I can see how looks can be deceiving

[Chorus]
(And so this had to be painted from memory)
(Funny, how looks can be deceiving)
