Lyrics

The Portrait

Under a midnight moon
By the ocean touched in blue light
You wrapped us in a cocoon
In your black overcoat around us tight

And I saw in your eyes
A look that would never die
And I dreamed all my life
Of that night

Of the midnight moon
That I painted in blue
The midnight moon
When I fell into you
The midnight moon

The wind tangled your hair
You confessed you weren?t perfect but I
Saw perfection there
So I painted your portrait that night

And I saw in your eyes
A look that would never die
And I dreamed all my life
Of that night

Of the midnight moon
That I painted in blue
The midnight moon
When I fell into you
And the portrait that I made
Hangs on our wall today

Sometimes I feel like I?m standing
Alone on that beach in the dark
And I search through the haze
For yesterday
And that look on your face

Sometimes when I forget
Just what you mean to me
I look at the portrait I painted
Of you and the blue butterfly
And all that we found on that night

Of the midnight moon
That I painted in blue
The midnight moon
When I fell into you
And the portrait that I made hangs on our wall today

The midnight moon
That I painted in blue
The midnight moon when I
Fell into you
And the portrait that I made hangs on our wall today

The midnight moon that I painted in blue
