Elvis Costello With Burt Bacharach - Painted From Memory lyrics

Such a picture of loveliness Didn't you notice the resemblance? Doesn't it look like she could speak? Those eyes I tried to capture They are lost to me now forever They smile for someone else Funny how looks can be deceiving But she's not easily painted from memory You'd think that I would know by now Those eyes I tried to capture They are lost to me now forever They smile for someone else And so this had to be Painted from memory She is gone and I must accept it She is lost to me now But I can't look away just yet though She smiles for someone else (And so this had to be) (Painted from memory) Funny, now I can see How looks can be deceiving (And so this had to be) (Painted from memory) Funny, now I can see How looks can be deceiving
