Book, Music & Lyrics by Michael Ogborn

"Beauty"

Painter

FOREVER IN SEARCH OF BEAUTY,
THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT MY LIFE WOULD BE,
FINDING A DEEPER MEANING,
IN EVERYTHING I SEE.

SO, WHEN CAN I PAINT YOUR PORTRAIT?
I’M WAITING TO TRACE YOUR PERFECT FACE.
ALL OF MY DAYS WOULD SEEM WORTH WHILE
IF YOU WOULD SIT AND SMILE FOR ME.
PLEASE LET ME PAINT YOUR PORTRAIT?
I’VE ALREADY SKETCHED YOU IN MY MIND,
ALL THAT I NEED TO DO IS STAND
AND LET YOUR BEAUTY TAKE MY HAND.

MORE THAN A PORTRAIT OF A LADY
SITTING IN A CHAIR,
I’D CONVEY A GUILELESS SPIRIT,
LISTENING TO A TIMELESS AIRE.

AND AFTER I PAINT YOUR PORTRAIT,
AFTER I’VE FOUND YOUR GENTLE SMILE,
THEN YOU’LL BE CAPTURED
AND REMEMBERED,
RENDERED TENDERLY,
A BEAUTY FRAMED
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE.

Young Woman
PAINT ME A PICTURE
THAT TELLS A STORY.
PAINT ME A PICTURE
OF A SOUL SET FREE.
PAINT ME A VESSEL
THAT’S BOUND FOR GLORY.
PAINT ANYTHING BUT DON’T PAINT ME.
YOU CAN PAINT MY WINDOWS,
YOU CAN PAINT MY FLOORS,
PAINT MY SHUTTERS,
YOU CAN PAINT MY DOORS,

OR PAINT ME AWAY
FROM A WORLD OF SORROW,
PAINT ME A PLACE
THAT’S SAFE AND SANE.
PAINT ME A WAY
TO GET THROUGH TOMORROW,
AND THAT’S WHERE I’LL REMAIN,
IN THE RAIN.

‘CAUSE I’M NOT A GIRL
WITH A WHITE PEARL EARRING.
I’M NOT A WOMAN
WITH A JUG OF WINE.
ME, I’M MORE ABOUT DISAPPEARING,
INTO ANYBODY’S LIFE BUT MINE.
BUT YOU CAN PAINT MY FINGERS,
YOU CAN PAINT MY TOES.
YOU CAN GILD MY LILY,
YOU CAN GILD MY ROSE,

OR PAINT ME AWAY
FROM THE WORK AND THE WORRY,
PAINT ME A PATH
THAT"S OPEN AND CLEAR.
PAINT ME A DAY
WHERE I’M NOT IN A HURRY,
AND I’LL BE YOUR SOUVENIR,
WITHOUT FEAR.

Painter
AND AFTER I PAINT YOUR PORTRAIT,

Young Woman
PAINT ME A PICTURE THAT TELLS A STORY....

Painter
AFTER I’VE FOUND YOUR GENTLE SMILE,

Young Woman
PAINT ME A PICTURE OF A SLAVE SET FREE.

Painter
THEN YOU’LL BE CAPTURED AND REMEMBERED,

Young Woman
THAT’S WHAT YOU CAN PAINT FOR ME.
RENDERED TENDERLY,

Both
BEAUTY FRAMED
FOR ALL THE WORLD
TO SEE.
