The day I first met you

Was the day that I knew

You'd paint the greys in my world

Yellow, red, and blue

And as I spent more time with you

Those colors spread, blossomed, and bloomed

The days moved fast

But not a second was wasted

Every little thing

Could be seen, heard, smelt, felt, and tasted

It was amazing what you had given me

There was just so much to see

You had done so much to improve my life

I wanted to make yours just as bright

So I promised to paint you glorious sights

But as the days went on

You couldn't see the colors quite so well

And as the days went on

The meaning of those paintings fell

But I had promised to paint you a picture

And even if you couldn't see

A painting I'd depicture

So when you close your eyes

Think of emerald fields

And saffron skies

Think of sapphire oceans

And golden dandelions

Think of how I'd paint the world

Just to see you smile
