The Umbrellas (USA)
Pictures
[Verse 1]
Greens and yellows in your eyes
Hair just like the autumn sky
You look just like a Matisse
Out in the summer breeze

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could paint you like Cézanne
But the colors in my heart, well, they’re all gone
They’re all gone (They’re all gone)

[Chorus]
A picture may speak a thousand words (Pictures may speak)
But there’s only a few I wish you heard (Thousands of words)
If I can't frame it now (Can’t frame it now)
Maybe I can do it later
A picture may speak a thousand words (Pictures may speak)
But there’s only a few I wish you heard (Thousands of words)
If I can't frame it now (Can’t frame it now)
Maybe I can do it later

[Verse 2]
Impressionist fields surround you
Though all decisions turn out blue
Stay away from old cliches
You make the flowers bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could paint you like Cézanne
But the colors in my heart, well, they’re all gone
They’re all gone (They’re all gone)

[Chorus]
A picture may speak a thousand words (Pictures may speak)
But there’s only a few I wish you heard (Thousands of words)
If I can't frame it now (Can’t frame it now)
Maybe I can do it later
A picture may speak a thousand words (Pictures may speak)
But there’s only a few I wish you heard (Thousands of words)
If I can't frame it now (Can’t frame it now)
Maybe I can do it later

[Bridge]
You add color to my life

[Chorus]
A picture may speak a thousand words (Pictures may speak)
But there’s only a few I wish you heard (Thousands of words)
If I can't frame it now (Can’t frame it now)
Maybe I can do it later
A picture may speak a thousand words (Pictures may speak)
But there’s only a few I wish you heard (Thousands of words)
If I can't frame it now (Can’t frame it now)
Maybe I can do it later
[Outro]
Do it later (Do it later)
Do it later (Do it later)
