Let Me Paint You a Picture

Let me paint you a picture

Of my best friend

She's tall and fair

With long black hair

And a smile to wake the dead

She wears blue jeans

With ripped out seams

Got legs that never end

But that's not who she is

She smiles and frowns

Got her ups and downs

She stood by me

Helped my dreams to be

Soothed my heart

When it fell apart

She's not one you should miss...

Let me paint you a picture

Of my only love

Her temper's hot

Then- quick as thought

She's as gentle as a dove

Her big blue eyes

How they tantalize

I swear-she's sent from above

But that's not all she is

Alone I ain't whole

She's got half my soul

She knows my needs

With her touch she frees

Me from my weary days

Don't need a million ways

Just her tender, lovin' kiss...

Let me paint you a picture

Of the woman who's my wife

She loves me true

Does all she can do

To bring peace into my strife

And late at night

Her touch is feather-light

Makes me enjoy my life

But that's not all she is

When she cries, I cry

And pictures don't lie

She's the one who cares

For me, and I'm aware

That she's my best friend

And true love to the end

Paint my picture with a kiss....

Let me paint you a picture

Of my best friend.....
