Painted From Memory Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Painted From Memory Lyrics

    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

    Funny, how looks can be deceiving
    But she's not easily
    Painted from memory

    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

    And so this had to be
    Painted from memory

    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

    And so this had to be
    Painted from memory

    Funny, now i can see
    How looks can be deceiving

    And so this had to be
    Painted from memory

    Funny, now i can see
    How looks can be deceiving
