Picture In My Heart - Eric Andersen

First time I looked into your eyes

Was like I’d known you all my life

You let me look so deeply in your heart

I just wanted to talk to you

Hear what my heart already knew

Keep you and protect you all my life

Your humor’s like a sunny day

It always blows the clouds away

Nothin' here with you could ever feel that sad

You taught me how to lighten up

How not to die when things got rough

Nothin' here on earth can ever feel that bad

Chorus:

I love you baby, you’re the one

You know I loved you more than once

A gypsy said she read it in my stars

It was in another life before

When we met, I knew I couldn’t

Search no more

I held you like a picture in my heart

Your kindness always teaches me

Your thoughtfulness amazes me

To think of others before thinkin' of yourself

You taught me kindness, in the end

Gives you strength and it wins you friends

That’s the only way you’ll ever really love

And as the dawn’s about to start

The birds’ll sing and the dogs will bark

You worked so very hard for everything you see

The atmosphere is charged with life

And just before the dog barks twice

You’re the nicest thing that I’ve ever seen

Chorus
