Lyrics

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 painted from memory
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 painted from memory
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 painted from memory)
Funny, now I can see (deceiving) how looks can be deceiving
(And so this had to be painted from memory)
Funny, now I can see (deceiving) how looks can be deceiving
(And so this had to be painted from memory)
(Funny, how looks can be deceiving)
Written by: Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello
