Kenny Rogers - If I Were a Painting lyrics

If I were a painting captured on canvas
Alone in the portrait I would stand
And brush strokes bold yet soft as a whisper
The work of a feminine hand

Caught in a still life surrounded by shadows
Or lost in a background of blue

If I were a painting my price would be pain
And the artist would have to be you

I imagine the colors would all run together
If you ever allowed me to cry
So don't paint the tears
Just let me remember me
Without you in my life

It's only the frame that holds me together
Or else I would be falling apart

If I were a painting i wouldn't fear
And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
