lyrics

You bought me my first paintbrush
And so many kinds of paint
You taught me how to hold it
And wipe the paint away

It's been years since I last held it
But I know exactly where it is
I promise now before you leave me
For as long as I shall live

I will soak up every sunset
I will honor your memory
I will paint with all the colors
That's what you mean to me

I will cherish the years I knew you
I will carry that smile of yours
And I will paint with all the colors
With all of them and more

As you're fading in the twilight
I hold you one last time
And you look up for a moment
I manage one weak smile
