If I were a painter
I would paint my reverie
If that's the only way for you to be with me
We'd be there
together
Just like we used to be
Undertneath the swirling skies for all to see
And I'm dreaming of a
place
Where I could see your face
And I think my brush
would take me there
But only...
If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you
I'd climb inside the skies to be with you.
