《Painting Her Portrait》歌词

[00:00:00] Painting Her Portrait - Marla Schaffel

[00:00:02] What a fool I have been to wonder

[00:00:06] If he might have a care for me

[00:00:09] How insane the thought that you

[00:00:12] Could be to him dear in any way

[00:00:16] That a more absurd young girl has lived

[00:00:19] I doubt that you could say

[00:00:21] You a favorite of Mr. Rochester

[00:00:24] Gifted with the power

[00:00:25] Your logic's fading by the hour

[00:00:27] And to no avail jane

[00:00:29] Poor blind puppy

[00:00:31] Had to go on dreaming

[00:00:33] Had to try to give your life some meaning

[00:00:34] Still you fail jane

[00:00:36] How dare you think that there's a place

[00:00:40] In his heart for you

[00:00:53] I'm painting my portrait

[00:00:56] An absolute likeness

[00:01:00] Faithful to illustrate

[00:01:03] Every fine line

[00:01:06] I'm mastering detail

[00:01:09] Highlighting defects

[00:01:13] Making a permanent mirror to see

[00:01:18] All of the faults that lie hidden in me

[00:01:25] I'm painting my portrait

[00:01:28] It's plain and uneven

[00:01:31] Reminding me of what I am

[00:01:34] What I must be

[00:01:37] I'm leaving out nothing

[00:01:39] No matter how painful

[00:01:42] All of my flaws on display to be seen

[00:01:56] Now my painting is done

[00:02:00] I'll start another

[00:02:02] This one of her

[00:02:06] And when I close my eyes

[00:02:08] I clearly see her face

[00:02:10] Capture her grace and poise

[00:02:13] Fight back the tears and I'm

[00:02:16] Painting her portrait

[00:02:18] An absolute likeness

[00:02:21] The loveliest face

[00:02:24] The most delicate skin

[00:02:27] A tribute to beauty

[00:02:30] The perfect miss ingram

[00:02:33] Omit neither diamond ring

[00:02:36] Nor golden rose

[00:02:39] Make her a lady of rank

[00:02:43] Glistening satin

[00:02:45] Oh how she glows

[00:02:49] Mix in your finest tints

[00:02:51] Paint her dramatically

[00:02:53] With all your sweetest hues

[00:02:55] Sit here fanatically

[00:02:58] Painting our portraits

[00:03:04] This one will live

[00:03:07] All of her life as a governess

[00:03:11] Just a lonely governess

[00:03:14] This one will always be happy

[00:03:17] And marry a man

[00:03:20] Who will carry her away

[00:03:24] And should you fancy

[00:03:26] That he really loves you

[00:03:29] Just compare the pictures

[00:03:31] Two completely different mixtures

[00:03:32] You should be ashamed jane

[00:03:34] Why would he settle for a slave

[00:03:38] Why would he settle for a slave

[00:03:40] When he could have a queen

[00:03:41] Jane it's foreseen jane

[00:03:44] Don't even dare any more

[00:03:47] To compare

[00:03:48] Say a prayer

[00:03:49] For your sorry soul

[00:03:53] Jane
