Lyrics

YVONNE (Walkin? Masterpiece)


She puts a brush to a canvas and a song in my heart
She put a destination on my tattered chart
She put some red into the blues of my still life scene
And her eyes are such a lovely shade of green
Well, now the sound of her voice, the way she moves her hands
Got this old heart of mine makin? new demands
But I wait patiently and let time pass by
While I dream of hearing her affirmative reply when I say

CHORUS: Come on, YVONNE
Won?t you let me in
Stretch out a canvas
Let the show begin
I don?t want a Rueben?s
Or a fine Matisse
?Cause everything you do?s
A genuine MASTERPIECE

Well, now they tell me all beauty must one day fade
But her beauty shines even in the shade
Ya know she brings all the colors back into my world
It?s true I?m fallin? hard for this Jersey girl so I tell her

CHORUS ? or those fine O?Keefes
?Cause everything you do?s
A genuine MASTERPIECE

BRIDGE: Surely got a mind of her own
Prob?ly broader than the roarin? sea
And everything she says and does
Strikes a fine chord inside o? me

It?s true works of beauty are to be admired
But it?s not her works that got me so inspired
Ya know it?s more than a portrait I?m after ya see
What I really want I her sweet company so I say

CHORUS ?or those fine O?Keefe?s
I swear to God, YVONNE
You?re a WALKIN? MASTERPIECE

Come on, YVONNE
Come on, YVONNE
Come on, YVONNE
Don?t leave me singin? (repeat and fade)
