Lyrics Painting by Numbers - Steve Porcaro feat. Mabvuto Carpenter

A silhouette of a long lost lover
A shadow cries on her shoulder
She used to savor the brightest colors
Now the blue's taking over

She paints the sky and draws me into every cloud
But when I want to fly

How much love can I give to you so you won't be blue tomorrow?
Painting by numbers
One more time you will draw the line but it's not that hard to follow Painting by numbers
Your love is mine by our own design connecting one another

She hides her heart from the one who loves her
She dips her brush in the water
Her canvas captures the warmth of summer
And the cold winds that caught her
She paints the sky, a starry night can last forever
But when I want to fly

How much love can I give to you so you won't be blue tomorrow?
Painting by numbers
One more time you will draw the line but it's not that hard to follow Painting by numbers
Your love is mine by our own design connecting one another

An empty space - a touch of faith - can chase the blue away
You make it easy as painting by numbers
And if we wait - another day - to find the ways to love
We may never really find enough

So we create - another place - where our two worlds embrace
We make it easy as painting by numbers
And I can't wait - another day - to find the ways of love
And I'm never giving up on us

Painting by numbers
How much love can I give to you so you won't be blue tomorrow?
All of the cover [?]
One more time you will draw the line but it's not that hard to follow
Soon we'll discover
Your love is mine by our own design connecting one another
We're painting by numbers
How much love can I give to you so you won't be blue tomorrow?

Painting by numbers

How much love can I give to you so you won't be blue tomorrow?
