A song I wrote for my grandmother who passed away a couple years ago. She was a very talented musician and painter, and was a big influence on what I do today. Here are the lyrics below, so that you may follow along.

"Perfect Painting"
by Bobby Yarsulik

Verse 1: When I saw your eyes I saw them shut
Reminded me of the time you
cried ten years away
When I walked up to your throne
It weighed in heavy, and
would be there day by day

PreChorus: and I... Can't color in your
eyes...
and I... Can't shade away the pain...
and you... are the one I've
been imagining...
... because your life's a perfect painting.

Verse 2:
You've got a little room, you can hide away from the world
Its got a window,
you can see the clouds roll in
You have so many things you can do, you could
be there night and day
Until the children come, and take your life
away...

PreChorus: and I... Can't color in your eyes...
and I... Can't
shade away the pain...
and you... are the one I've been imagining...
...
because your life's a perfect painting.

Chorus: I could fill my canvas with
words, and still not get any closer to yours
It's perfect, a perfect
painting
Vibrant colors shine bright, its like all your paint was filled with
life
It's perfect, a perfect painting.

PreChorus: and I... Can't color in
your eyes...
and I... Can't shade away the pain...
and you... are the one
I've been imagining...
and I... Can't color in your eyes...
and I... Can't
shade away the pain...
and you... are the one I've been imagining...
...
because your life's a perfect painting...
