A Portrait of My Love

There could never be a portrait of my love

for nobody could paint a dream!

You will never see a portrait of my love 

for miracles are never seen!

 

Anyone who sees her, 

soon forgets the Mona Lisa!

It would take I know, a Michael Angelo, 

and he would need the glow of dawn 

that paints the sky above 

to try an' paint a portrait of my love! 

 

< instrumental break >

 

. . . yes, he would need the glow of dawn 

that paints the sky above 

to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
