Paint Her Face Songtext

von The Records

There on a monday
When a train came into town
She said she was an artist
Tried to get an autograph
Never had a photograph
Just a memory

Oh, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right

Tried to send a letter
I had to know again
Tried to check the phonebook
Didn't even know her name
Never had a photograph
Just a memory

How I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right

I remember her eyes
Were big and bright
I'm sure her nose was small
I knew her lips were ruby red
I want her picture on my wall

Getting her complexion
Was harder then I thought
I couldn't find the colors
Amongst all the paints I bought
If I had a photograph
Not a memory

How I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right

Tried
Tried to paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right
