Portrait of a girl
Canvas of Ages
The stages, hers
Demure and practiced beauty
Hold them all enthralled
Portrait of a girl
Object of woman
A pose and they
They says she's fairest of them all
Paint her in
Watching one color end and one begin
Brush away what's stray
Add a finishing touch
The rapture cold as a pearl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Portrait of a girl
Painted illusion
She play her part
She sees that she's a work of art
Paint her in
Watching one color end and one begin
Brush away what's stray
There's disguise in her eyes
Add shadows that dance across her skin
Hide the doubt that cries out within her
Stripped bare beneath all the layers
Would you recognize the girl (???)
Sought after trapped like a pearl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Daring you to fall
Fairest of them all
