[00:06.426]I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man
[00:26.981]Who has taken all the heart aches,
[00:37.011]And all the pain he can stand.
[00:43.030]
[00:44.284]
[00:46.010]I am using all the colors of blue,
[00:55.788]I have here on my stand.
[01:06.075]I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man.
[01:20.620]
[01:21.569]
[01:25.583]I can tell he is dying. I see death in his eyes.
[01:45.646]Oh yes I know, I know when he's crying
[01:55.420]'Tis my tears, my tears that he cries.
[02:05.203]
[02:05.703]
[02:05.946]I am so tired of how he feels inside,
[02:14.971]I mix the paint with my hand.
[02:27.765]I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man.
[02:41.804]
[02:43.567]
[02:44.568]As I paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey,
[03:04.373]Oh tell me how, how can I paint a smile
[03:14.905]And eyes that keep turning away?
[03:22.369]
[03:22.870]
[03:23.624]I am using all the colors of blue
[03:32.647]I have here on my stand.
[03:43.867]I am painting in oil, a portrait and I'm the man.
[04:01.881]
[04:02.127]
[04:02.884]A portrait and I am the man.
