Painting Pretty Pictures

Lyrics to a song I wrote. Nothing Personal Just a song.

I watch you while you're sleeping,

Stretched out on the bed,

And all the things you've done to me;

Keep running through my head.

You'd think that by now,

I'd have learned a thing or two,

But I keep right on pretending;

And believing in you.

 

Chorus

 

I keep right on believing,

In dreams that don't come true.

And pretending that we're doing,

Things we'll never do.

I'm painting pretty pictures,

Of a love that just can't be,

And I'll keep right on believing;

There's hope for you and me.

 

Silently I listen, dear,

To each sweet little lie,

That you sit and tell to me;

As you watch me cry.

You build my hopes and dry my tears,

And say you love me so,

And by this time tomorrow;

I'll be sorry I didn't go.

Author's Note

This isn't personal. Just lyric's I wrote sometime back.

Reviews

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

i agree would make a great country song... blinding yourselves to the one we are with maybe afraid of being alone... another wonderfully written piece.

[C.T. Bailey]

Good lyrical qualities and the wording had a very nice rhythm. You should add a couple of more stanzas and have someone work out a melody on the guitar. This is good stuff!

[James K. Blaylock]

I agree, this does indeed sound like a country song.

[Dezaraye]

This reads like a country song.

You have such a talent for lyrics. This really tells a story without being too wordy. Your words flow really well together and the chorus fits so perfectly. I love it!
