Lyrics The Most Beautiful Painting in the World - Michael Seyer

The Most Beautiful Painting in the World

There’s a mural that everyone knows
Most noted for being so beautiful
A pretty girl: tears on cheek
She don’t talk but to everyone she speaks
But when I get there
The crowd blocks the artwork
I can’t seem to see it
No one else can too
Have you seen the painting?
No one else has
Have you seen this painting?
No one else has
There’s a painting that everyone claims to see
Says the sight is beauty and exists to be
It’s nothing else, it’s everything
And if this thing was a person it would surely sing
But when I push through
The painting is not there
The canvas is thin air
But they go on and stare
Have you seen the painting?
No one else has
Have you seen this painting?
No one else has
But when I see you, you’re all I need
And when I’m with you, you’re all that I see
In my mind, there’s a painting of you
And there’s no one else there to block the view
