Alabama - You Only Paint The Picture Once

Look at those evening shadows


Casting a peaceful light


The sun is disappearing


It's a beautiful sight


Moments caught forever


By the master's touch


A lasting reminder


To us





You only paint the picture once


(And) you only get one chance


Take the time to do your best


While the brush is in your hand


Make sure it's just right


Before the colors dry


You can't change it once it's done


You only paint the picture once





Love is the canvas


That's where it all starts


A lifetime together


Becomes a work of art


Just look what's been created


Between your heart and mine


Oh I believe that we're one of a kind





You only paint the picture once


(And) you only get one chance


Take the time to do your best


While the brush is in your hand


Make sure it's just right


Before the colors dry


You can't change it once it's done


You only paint the picture once





It's a portrait of life


You can't live it twice


You only paint the picture once
