A
Portrait of My Love
-
-
(
Complete Medley )
-
- You alone, you alone,
- are the dream I have known,
- bringing love to my lonely heart!
-
- Now there’s heaven in view,
- Now the dream has come true,
- For tonight I have you alone!
-
- Now that your eyes have told me,
- You are my love my own,
- Come to my arms and hold me,
- I live for you alone!
- Solo tu, solo tu . . .
-
- [ Italian ]
-
- Now there’s heaven in view,
- Now the dream has come true,
- For tonight I have you alone!
-
- I'm gonna sit right down
- an' write myself a letter
- and make believe it came from you!
-
- I'm gonna write words so sweet
- they're gonna knock me off my
feet
- a lot of kisses on the bottom
- I'll be glad I got them
-
- I'm gonna smile and say "I hope
you're feelin' better"
- and close with love the way you do
- I'm gonna sit right down an' write myself
a letter
- and make believe it came from you!
-
- < instrumental break >
-
- I'm gonna sit right down
- an' write myself a letter
- and make believe it came
- . . . from you!
-
- 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!
