PORTRAIT
by Joel Sattler

I feel so warm inside
when I look at your portrait
cause your eyes follow me
as I walk across the room
and wherever you are
I am sure that you're happy
because you have a heart
that is always in bloom

and if you think of me
think of me looking at you
with love in my soul
cross the passage of years
and the fixed memory
of the face of your portrait
gets me through all the days
and the valley of fear

your portrait
your portrait
your portrait
so beautiful

and time it means nothing
in the place in my mind
where the season is summer
and all care's left behind
and when I am lonely
I have you here inside
and your face on the wall
to which I can confide

and you'll never be gone
long as I have your portrait
I'll never be wrong
long as you make me right
and the night turns to day
when I look at your portrait
and I know what I'll say
when you come back to me

back to me....
