Words that form a sentence Words that form a phrase In a poem or a letter Could not convey the meaning Of what this man has done In a painting on a canvas And as the colors fading They dictate my mood Can you see me? Are you near me? I find myself on canvas I find myself on stage Can you see me? Are you near me? And I long to know you're real And I long for you to be a part of me I long to know you're real And I long for you to be a part of me And in the fading twilight I sit & stare at her In all her beauty Her beauty You know I have to wonder Why all great men must die And leave their treasure They leave their treasure
