There were forty little houses    And 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 Nelly moved to town she saw his heart of gold   They found each other and never spent another day apart   Whoever would have dreamed that in his quiet eyes    She’d find the peace to make her life complete      Chorus      Oh you could say it was a work of art    That someone took a brush and painted their hearts   Together they made such a beautiful thing   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      Tim always had a little trouble with letters and numbers   So Nelly paid the bills and read all the mail   No one worked harder for miles around   Tim was the best farm hand    And Nelly was proud   A year went by of saving their nickels and dimes   They had a little boy   They named him Daniel   He became their pride and joy      Chorus      Everyone said that they were so close to heaven    That they didn’t have far to go   Somehow it all made sense they went together   That night on that dark road      Chorus      Hey   Love is a masterpiece   Love is a masterpiece   Hey yeah    Love is a masterpiece   Is a masterpiece    Love is a masterpiece   Love is a masterpiece   Love is a masterpiece
