Painted From Memory Songtext
von Elvis Costello with Burt Bacharach

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

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

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
Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

And so this had to be
Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

And so this had to be
Funny, how looks can be deceiving
