The Painting on the Wall

V1
The texture on the water shines like fine old lace
As she strolls along the pathway leading to a special place
Her favorite spot in all the world, that’s where she met young Joe
A sunny day , so many years ago

V2
The treeline in the distance , shades of alpine blue
The kitchen in the house they built had that color too
Warm thoughts of her time with him were all she’d cared to see
Forever in her memory

Chorus
Sitting in her room, as still as she could be.
captured by the dancing of sun rays on the sea
Most days you’ll find her there, in an old brown shawl
Living in the painting on the wall

V3
Ms Jones would you like to join us on the patio for a while?
The sun is warmly shining there, it’s sure to make you smile
Thank you Marie …but, I don’t mind sitting here alone
So many things remind me of home

Chorus
Sitting in her room, as still as she could be.
captured by the dancing of sun rays on the sea
Most days you’ll find her there, in an old brown shawl
Living in the painting on the wall

Most days you’ll find her there, in an old brown shawl
Living in the painting on the wall
