paroles de chanson If Those Lips Could Only Speak - Susan McCann

He stood in a beautiful mansion
Surrounded by riches untold
He gazed at a beautiful picture
That hung in a frame of gold
Was a picture of a lady
So beautiful young and fair
To the beautiful lifelike picture
He murmured in sad despair

If those lips could only speak
If those eyes could only see
If those beautiful golden tresses
Were there in reality
Could I only take your hand
As I did when you took my name
But it's only a beautiful picture
In a beautiful golden frame

With all his great powers and his riches,
He knows he can never replace
One thing in the mansion that's absent
His wife's tender smiling face
And each time he sees her picture
These words he'll always say
"All my wealth I freely forfeit
And toil for you night and day"

Instrumental

He sat there and gazed at the painting
Then slumber forgetting all pain
And there in that mansion in fancy
She stood by his side again
And his lips then softly murmured
The name of his once sweet bride
With his eyes fixed on the picture
He woke from his sleep and he cried

If those lips could only speak
If those eyes could only see
If those beautiful golden tresses
Were there in reality
Could I only take your hand
As I did when you took my name
But it's only a beautiful picture
In a beautiful golden frame

If those lips could only speak
If those eyes could only see
If those beautiful golden tresses
Were there in reality
Could I only take your hand
As I did when you took my name
But it's only a beautiful picture
In a beautiful golden frame
