It doesn’t have to be
Something I can see to make, me believe, it’s happening
And I don’t have to hear
You whisper in my ear to know that you are there
I know you’re far away, you’ll soon be near
Cause I sit, and I wait, with my imaginary paint
And I create, you and me, in reds and golds and blues and greens
And it’s such a masterpiece
Come alive and you will see, what I mean
I’ve got this picture perfect image in my mind
All I need is, you to make it
Come alive, alive, alive
And I’ve got this masterpiece
I wonder who, the star will be
I’ll come to life for you, if you’ll come, to life for me
Well I won’t ask for much
But I wouldn’t mind your touch, a glance a chance
And maybe it could last
You could ask for more,
I would search the floors of heaven, hell or anywhere
Just, tell me and I’ll go there
Cause I sit, and I wait, with my imaginary paint
I create you and me in reds and golds and blues and, greens
And it’s such a masterpiece, yea
Come alive and you will see, yea you’ll see
What, I mean
I’ve got this picture perfect image in my mind
All I need is, for you to make it, come alive, alive, alive
I’ve got this masterpiece, I wonder who, the star will be
I’ll come, to life for you, if you’ll come, to life for me
Yea, come to life for me, yea, come to life for me
