Once was a woman and once was a man Who'd never been lovers, just good friends Both of them happy with rings on their hands But they'd dreamed of each other, romance So picture two people alone in a room Together for the very first time Candles are burning, holding each other And picture two people whose dreams have come true They must be goin' out of their minds If for only a moment seems like forever Finishing touches The canvas set to dry Each color tells its story Of where and when and why Finishing touches Now no one can know what a love is to life Till they have to choose one, lose one And no one can know what a heartache is like Till they have to break one, take one Finishing touches The canvas set to dry Each color tells its story Of where and when and why Finishing touches Now, there is a woman and there is a man Who used to be good friends, now they're just lovers Their dreams of forever must come to an end And stop all this madness, somehow recover So picture two people alone in a room Who finally have made up their minds Oh, how the tears flow, both know And picture them holdin' each other real tight Knowing it's the very last time They gotta let go, let go Finishing touches The canvas set to dry Each color tells its story Of where and when and why Finishing touches The canvas set to dry Each color tells its story Of where and when and why Finishing touches
