Drop that Brush

I take a brush and then some paint

And close my eyes to see

A picture of the girl I paint

Who’s waiting out there for me

I paint her lips and then her face

And then I see her smile

The smile I see all night and day

And not just once in a while

I quickly paint her brows and nose

And then slowly paint her eyes

Deep and silent place of love

The one where heaven lies

All black and long I paint her hair

And lose myself just there

Her face is painted subtle and divine

Just like a simple prayer

I said myself I’ll love her like

No one has ever before

I’ll Keep her happy and make her smile

And then maybe some more

I rest my brush and wipe my smile

And open my eyes to see

There’s no picture there’s no girl

I’m just talking to me

I can’t paint her like I want

And then simply compare

I’ll have to know and talk to her

To be honest and fair

For I’m no Prince to choose and say

That’s how she should be

I’m just a guy with a simple heart

And that’s how I’m going to be

So I let her choose and give her space

To see if I’m any good

If that’s the way she finds me nice

Then that’s the way she should

I drop my brush and wipe the paint

And open my eyes to see

I simply have to love the girl

Who’s waiting out there for me
