Painted From Memory (alternate) Lyrics by Burt Bacharach
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Such a picture of loveliness
Didn't you notice the difference?
Doesn't it look like she could speak?
Those eyes i try to capture
They are lost to me forever
They smile for someone else
Funny, how looks can be deceiving
But she's not easily painted from memory
You'd think that i would know by now
Those eyes i try to capture

They are lost to me forever
They smile for someone else
And so this had to be painted from memory
She is gone and i must accept it
She is lost to me now
But i can't look away just yet though
She smiles for someone else
And so this had to be painted from memory
Funny, now i can see how looks can be deceiving
Such a picture of loveliness   Didn't you notice the difference?   Doesn't it look like she could speak?   Those eyes i try to capture   They are lost to me forever   They smile for someone else   Funny, how looks can be deceiving   But she's not easily painted from memory   You'd think that i would know by now   Those eyes i try to capture      They are lost to me forever   They smile for someone else   And so this had to be painted from memory   She is gone and i must accept it   She is lost to me now   But i can't look away just yet though   She smiles for someone else   And so this had to be painted from memory   Funny, now i can see how looks can be deceiving
