PORTRAIT
© Ron Gletherow
(words and music by Ron Gletherow)
A child is born
A life begins
A family torn
A daughter’s sins
Leaving her old ways
She says goodbye
Beneath the sky tonight
A portrait stares
A lonely room
A boy who cares
A girl too soon
Time to move on now
He lives alone
Beneath the sky tonight
Bridge
Memories are like a portrait
Mirrors of our lives
Line the face with ageless features
Passing thru time
A man is king
But for a day
The children sing
Then gone away
Leaving the portrait
Looking down
Beneath the sky tonight
(Repeat Bridge)
So life goes on
Begins again
Another song
The same refrain
Leaving the portrait
Smiling thru
Beyond the stars tonight
