Seen and Not Heard

You spend hours and hours on end Putting all your love into them But I'm forgotten like a study in pen I wish I were one of your painted portrait girls Maybe I could be a still life work I promise then I wouldn't speak a single word And just for you, I could be seen and not heard You could clean up my smudges with time Define my shape, sketch new lines You could soften my contours and pride So, I could be one of your painted portrait girls Maybe I could be a still life work I promise then I wouldn't speak a single word And just for you, I could be seen and not heard I'd be immortalized under glaze Dynamic pose, expressive face You'd never want to look away And I could live on in your lines and swirls And I'd be a part of your world So, can I be one of your painted portrait girls Maybe I could be a still life work I promise then I wouldn't speak a single word And just for you, I could be seen and not heard Seen and not heard
