Canvas

At the start of the day

When the sun wakes up

Says"Good morning" to you

Your canvas is empty

So gently

Paint a landscape of us with the head of your brush under skies white and blue

Green rolling hills

Paint everything you and I dreamed we'd build and more

Yellow flowers on the walkway down

Every season 'till the leaves turn brown

Pink in the sky

Orange on the ground

Somedays we color outside the lines

But we try

We're not perfect but perfectly you painted one beautiful life

With you by my side

Through darkness and light

Your palette is filled with the shades of what is yet to come

The highs and lows of our past fill this cloth like a song

Hand-painted strokes of our present are portrayed through your eyes alone

And your eyes are golden

Your art so beautifully captures our every moment

No day is ever the same

Somedays we color inside all the lines

When us and the sun go to bed

Tomorrow you'll paint you and I all over again

Oh we try

Yes we try

We're not perfect but perfectly you painted one beautiful life

With you by my side

Through darkness and light

Your palette is filled with the shades of what is yet to come

The highs and lows of our past fill this cloth like a song

Oh hand-painted strokes of our present are portrayed through your eyes alone

And your eyes are golden

Your art so beautifully captures our every moment
