If I Could Paint A Picture
If I could paint a picture
The Picture would be you
It would show your gentleness
How you taught me all I knew
It would show your outstretched hand
The beautiful twinkle in your eyes
A love so deep and powerful
All embracing eternal ties
If I could paint a picture
You'd be the rainbow in the sky
The morning star the evening sun
Every creature that could fly
Your foot upon the mountain tops
With hand on every flower and tree
Reflections in a river or stream
You're there in everything I see
