Lyrics
If I painted pictures, each one would show your face.
And beauty would blossom inside every frame.
If I were a playwright, you'd always have the lead.
And never be upstaged, giving life to every scene.
You're my muse,
In everything I do.
I can't help it, the choice is not mine.
Unless you're there,
My songs sound so bare.
You bring out the best in all I write.
If I wrote a mystery, it would be a novel.
You would star, as the crime-fighting model.
If I carved in stone, I'd use it to explore
A way to make a smile and silhouette like yours.
You're my muse,
In everything I do.
I can't help it, the choice is not mine.
Unless you're there,
My songs sound so bare.
You bring out the best in all I write.
Every piece I create, the music I compose
Only comes to light because of your shining soul.
It doesn't really matter which work I choose.
With you as inspiration, I can never lose.
You're my muse,
You shape my every view.
I can't help it, the choice is not mine.
Unless you're there,
My rhymes sound so bare.
You bring out the best in all I write.
