Lyrics Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson

You Don't Have to Paint Me a Picture

The kiss was colder than I remember

When we first said hello

I guess the flame's now a little lower

I can feel you letting go

You know the pain drops a little darker

Then when you first put it on

I guess your love's like some old cheap and magic marker

Said forever nice go

But you don't have to paint me a picture

You don't have to say things at all

You don't have to paint me a picture

I can see in the writing on the wall

When we first fell, we fell a long way

Summer nights and winter days

Mountain sunrise, ocean sunset

Hand in hand in the haze

Now it's cold heart summer evenings

And there's clouds on my sunrise

But you don't have to smile and say you're happy

I can see what's in your eyes

You don't have to paint me a picture

You don't have to say things at all

You don't have to paint me a picture

I can see in the writing on the wall
