There were forty little houses in a place they called High River   And everyone knew Tim since the day he was born   He was a little different some might call it slow   But when Nellie moved to town she saw his heart of gold      They found each other and never spent another day apart   Whoever would have dreamed in his quiet eyes   She'd find the piece to make her life complete      Oh you could say it was a work of art   Like someone took a brush and painted there hearts   Together they made such a beautiful thing   And oh if there was anything that they could do right   It was painting love in the perfect light   So we could see that love is a masterpiece      Yeah well Tim always had a little trouble with letters and numbers   So Nellie paid the bills and read all the mail   No one worked harder for miles around   Tim was the best farmhand and Nellie was proud      A year went by of saving their nickels and dimes   They had a little boy they named him Daniel   And he became their pride and joy      Oh you could say it was a work of art   Like someone took a brush and painted their hearts   Together they made such a beautiful thing   And oh if there was anything that they could do right   It was painting love in the perfect light   So we could see that love is a masterpiece      Everybody said that they were so close to heaven   That they didn't have far to go   Somehow it all made sense that they all went together   That night on that dark road      Oh you could say it was a work of art   Like someone took a brush and painted their hearts   Together they made such a beautiful thing   And oh, if there was anything that they could do right   It was painting love in the perfect light   So we could see that love is a masterpiece      Love is a masterpiece   Love is a masterpiece   Love is a masterpiece   ...
