<br>
Portrait of a girl<br>
Canvas of Ages<br>
The stages, hers <br>
Demure and practiced beauty<br>
Hold them all enthralled<br>
<br>
Portrait of a girl<br>
Object of woman<br>
A pose and they<br>
They says she's fairest of them all<br>
<br>
Paint her in <br>
Watching one color end and one begin<br>
Brush away what's stray<br>
Add a finishing touch<br>
The rapture cold as a pearl<br>
Now the portrait has captured the girl<br>
Now the portrait has captured the girl<br>
<br>
Portrait of a girl<br>
Painted illusion<br>
She play her part<br>
She sees that she's a work of art<br>
<br>
Paint her in <br>
Watching one color end and one begin<br>
Brush away what's stray<br>
There's disguise in her eyes<br>
Add shadows that dance across her skin<br>
Hide the doubt that cries out within her<br>
Stripped bare beneath all the layers<br>
Would you recognize the girl lying there?<br>
Sought after trapped like a pearl<br>
Now the portrait has captured the girl<br>
Now the portrait has captured the girl<br>
<br>
Daring you to fall<br>
Fairest of them all<br>
