A broken gaze from the low candle light

Casting your shadow against the relief

With charcoal and pieces of clay

I drew the perfect portrait of you

That way when you leave

A piece of you will stay right here with me

With charcoal and pieces of clay

I drew the perfect portrait of you

That way when you leave

A piece will be right here with me

We stalled for hours

I recall it like it was yesterday

I reach for your face

But all I can reach is the space you once stood

Your portrait remains engrained in my eyes

Looks like hers would never tell a lie

Let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time

I know I've seen this before

But I'm still wanting it more

I'm glad I get to see you when I'm dreaming

When I wake you're already gone

And I'm still here left alone

I'm glad to see you right here in this picture

We stalled for hours

I recall it like it was yesterday

I reach for your face

But all I can reach is the space you once stood

Your portrait remains engrained in my eyes

Looks like hers would never tell a lie

Let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time

Let's just stay here in time

Your features

From this portrait I've made

Your details

I can no longer save

Let's just stay here in time

We stalled for hours

I recall it like it was yesterday

I reach for your face

But all I can reach

Is the space you once stood

Your portrait remains engrained in my eyes

Looks like hers would never tell a lie

Let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time
