When you stand in front of me
with your head low
Oh there's nothing I'd want more
than to hold you up and love you so
And these eyes that speak so much to me, now tell me
Do I not answer your questions? Do I not show you
what it is I see?
Ask me why I don't ask for you
Ask me why I don't plead with you
You're a picture I've fallen in love with
Though troublesome it might sound to you

I will not change your smile, your joy, your laugh
So mischievous
Even if it means not taking you by your hand
Not if it's away from this world so dear to you
This world that makes you who you are

In all your childish ways, in all your womanly grace
In all that you dream so strong
You're a picture I've fallen in love with
Though troublesome it might sound to you

And my hands might not hold you the same
And my heart might not love you the same
As what you had known for so long
But they are only some of the things I can do
to make you uncover parts of you
And know you're even more beautiful
When you're bare and I see the world through you

Oh now lay out all your cards to me
Show me all as flaws you see
And I will kiss them and tell you
That they’re a part of what makes one in love with you

In all your childish ways, in all your womanly grace
In all that you dream so strong
You're a picture I've fallen in love with
Though troublesome it might sound to you
