4/4 Time Portrait of a girl. Canvas of ages. The stage is hers demure and practiced beauty holding all inthrall. Portrait of a girl. Object of rumor. A pose at play, they say she's fairest of them all. one color ends and one begins. Brush away what's stray add a finishing touch. The rapture cold as a pearl. Now the portrait has captured the girl. Portrait of a girl. Painted il-lu--sion. She'll play her part. She sees that she's a work of art. Paint her in, watching one color end and one begin. Brush away what's stray there's disguise in her eyes. Add shadows that dance across her skin. Hide the doubt that cries out within her. Stripped bare beneath all the layers would you recognize the girl lying there? Sought after trapped like a pearl, now the portrait has captured the girl. Now the portrait has captured the girl. Dare you to fall, fairest of them all. * On the last line "fairest of them all" the time signature switches to 6/4.
