I came across this song while watching "So you think you can dance" As I listened to the song, the artist in me got sucked in by the lyrics. After googling the lyrics, I was shocked to learn that this song is actually by Kenny Rogers. KENNY ROGERS?! Country?! I got sucked in by COUNTRY?! I consider myself to be open minded when it comes to music, but for the longest time, country, with its twangy guitars and that southern accent, was the one genre I would avoid at all costs. Its odd to think that the song that spoke to me most is from the genre I like least. Looks like country is worth looking into after all =) *puts on cowboy hat, nods, and rides off into the sunset*
If I were a painting
If I were a painting
Captured on canvas
Alone in the portriat 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 LIFE
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 wouldnt be breaking my heart
