I Paint Myself With You

[good4somethingbum]

I Paint Myself With YouTwo curly straws in a Frostee at the Tastee FreezeTwo lovers under one umbrella strolling misty streetsI see lives melt together, as I roam the avenueIn their pictures of the future, I paint myself with youYoung fam’ly pushing a carriage toward love’s richest yearsOld couple rolling toward eternity in their rocking chairsTheir eyes shine with mem’ries, that should’ve been ours, tooSo in their pictures of tomorrow, I paint myself with youWell, some travel by wheels and some travel on wingsBut to be where you are I must drift there in dreamsI see you in fields of starlight walking free and born anewBut your eyes swim with sadness so I paint myself with youCos I remember makin’ love in long grass beneath a pineHow could you be so full of life and yet be out of timeSo when I see two lovers, with the life I once knewIn their picture of forever, I paint myself with youI paint myself with youI paint myself with you…©2007 Robert George
