Masterpiece Lyrics

You drew me a picture

On the back of a placemat

You were just four years old

You said it was you and me

You gave me a funny face

And I still keep it safe 

Tucked away like gold

You drew me a picture

It was your mom and me

We were dancing at a fancy ball

The whole world was watching

As we twirled in the spotlight

I see it every night

Hanging on the wall

Every picture tells a story

Of morning glories 

And fallen leaves

I always thought that I was failing 

But you were painting 

A masterpiece

You drew me a picture

I had a long grey beard 

I was sitting by a stream playing guitar

The sky was on fire

And with the autumn choirs

I was singing to a symphony

A symphony of stars

Every picture tells a story

Of morning glories 

And fallen leaves

I always thought that I was failing 

But you were painting 

A masterpiece

You drew me a picture 

Of a place of a place that

I've dreamed of

Only it was just out of reach 

You drew me a picture, child

But I never realized

That you were my masterpiece
