We painted pictures of ourselves
From a photograph
Of the time we spent our birthdays together
You were wearing that blue dress
We spent time riding the metro line
All across the town
And we never said a word to each other
We just wrote them down
I was never in love, I was never in love
I was never in love until I met you
I want to paint your picture
I want to hang it on the wall
And when our children are older
They’ll say “Hey mama,
Where’d you get that picture from?”
Even though I’ve always known
I still took my time
And oh, my love, do you think that you could be
You could be my wife?
I was never in love, I was never in love
I was never in love until I met you
I want to paint your picture
I want to hang it on the wall
And when our children are older
They’ll say “Hey mama,
Where’d you get that picture from?”
