Captured on canvas

Kenny Rogers - If I were a Painting

If I were a painting

Captured on canvas

Alone in the portrait I would stand

And brush strokes bold

Yet soft as a whisper

The work of a feminine hand

 

Caught in a still life

Surrounded by shadows

And lost in a background of blue

 

If I were a painting

My price would be pain

And the artist would have to be you

 

I imagine the colors

Would all run together

If you ever allowed me to cry

 

So don't paint the tears

Just let me remember me

Without you in my eyes

 

It's only the frame

That holds me together

Or else I would be falling apart

 

If I were a painting

I wouldn't feel

And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
