Belinda Carlisle
Shades of Michaelangelo
[Verse 1]
A still-life portrait
A view from my window
Touched by an innocence
Now fading away
Into a quiest storm of the tears of the angels
Falling around me
As I'm watching the days…

I frame colours of passion
Against a fading sky
With a stroke of love
On the canvas of my soul
I'm painting a perfect world
With shades of Michaelangelo
It's a promise made
To every heart that knows
We can live in a perfect world
In shades of Michaelangelo

A seed of hope
Grows in my garden
I feel the earth
Beneath my feet
Running through my mind
Are dreams of a future
Where all of this world
Works in harmony…
I frame colours of passion
Against a fading sky
With a stroke of love
On the canvas of my soul
I'm painting a perfect world
With shades of Michaelangelo
It's a promise made
To every heart that knows
We can live in a perfect world
In shades of Michaelangelo

I hear songs of children
Echo in the sky
I hear songs of children
A tomorrow so bright…
