Such a picture of loveliness 
Didn't you notice the resemblance? 
Doesn't it look like she could speak? 
Those eyes I tried to capture 
They are lost to me now forever 
They smile for someone else 

Funny, how looks can be deceiving 
But she's not easily 
Painted from memory 

You'd think that I would know by now 
Those eyes I tried to capture 
They are lost to me now forever 
They smile for someone else 

And so this had to be 
Painted from memory 

She is gone, and I must accept it 
She is lost to me now 
But I can't look away just yet though 
She smiles for someone else 
And so this had to be 
Painted from memory 

Funny, now I can see 
How looks can be deceiving 

And so this had to be 
Painted from memory 

Funny, now I can see 
How looks can be deceiving


(Costello/Bacharach)
