I traced you picture from my memory Your hair still has a little gray I could have made you look like you were twenty But to me, you were much prettier this way Now I'm not the artist that I used to be So your eyes might look a little funny The eraser on my pencil was all used up So I'm sorry if your nose is kind of runny Your smile looks like it did when I first saw you That's a memory that my hands cannot forget Your smile lit up the room when I asked you to dance You were the most beautiful girl that I've ever met Now that picture sits on my bedside table Where I can see your smile every night You're the first thing I see when the sun comes up And the last thing before I turn out the light I traced you picture from my memory Your hair still has a little gray I could have made you look like you were twenty But to me, you were much prettier this way
