Lyrics
You drew me a picture
On the back of a placemat
You were just four years old
It was just you and me
Gave me a funny face
And I still keep it safe
Tucked away like gold
Mmmhmm ...
V2
You drew me a picture
It was your mom and me
We were dancing at a fancy ball
The whole world was watching
As we twirled in the spotlight
And I see it every night
Hanging on the wall
Mmmhmm ...
CHORUS
Every picture tells a story
Of morning glories
And fallen leaves
I always thought that I was failing
But you were painting
A masterpiece
Mmmhmm ...
Mmmhmm ...
V3
You drew me a picture
I had a long grey beard
I was sitting by a stream playing guitar
The sky was on fire
And with the autumn choirs
I was singing to the symphony of stars
Mmmhmm ...
CHORUS
Every picture tells a story
Of morning glories
And fallen leaves
I always thought that I was failing
But you were painting
A masterpiece
Mmmhmm ...
Mmmhmm ...
V4
You drew me a picture
Of a place of a place that I’ve dreamed of
Only it was just out of reach
You drew me a picture, child
But I never realized
That you were my masterpiece
Mmmhmm ...
Mmmhmm ...
