A broken gaze from the low candle light
casting your shadow against the relief
with charcoal and pieces of clay
I drew the perfect portrait of you
that way when you leave
a piece of you will stay right here with me
with charcoal and pieces of clay
I drew the perfect portrait of you
that way when you leave
a piece will be right here with me
we stalled for hours
I recall it like it was yesterday
I reach for your face
but all I can reach is the space you once stood
your portrait remains engrained in my eyes
looks like hers would never tell a lie
let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time
I know I've seen this before
but I'm still wanting it more
I'm glad I get to see you when I'm dreaming
When I wake you're already gone
and I'm still here left alone
I'm glad to see you right here in this picture
we stalled for hours
I recall it like it was yesterday
I reach for your face
but all I can reach is the space you once stood
your portrait remains engrained in my eyes
looks like hers would never tell a lie
let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time
let's just stay here in time
your features
from this portrait I've made
your details
I can no longer save
let's just stay here in time
we stalled for hours
I recall it like it was yesterday
I reach for your face
but all I can reach
is the space you once stood
your portrait remains engrained in my eyes
looks like hers would never tell a lie
let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time
