Still Beautiful

Our conversations are flying home tonight

Honeymooners, returning on a midnight flight

They are coming back to normal lives

Vacations morph into nine-to-fives

And I slip off this rosy pair

Of lenses and you're still beautiful

Smoke has cleared, the wrapping tears

Bright lights fade, and you're still beautiful

I sense you shaving off my mysteries

And knowing my trophies have realistic histories

The fish I've caught are back to normal size

A man of limits stands before your gentle eyes

And I slip off this rosy pair

Of lenses and you're still beautiful

Smoke has cleared, the wrapping tears

Bright lights fade, and you're still beautiful

I start with my nose at the painting

Slowly step back and this is amazing

Dr. Cal has a patiently waiting for me to earn them

"Real" is harder to see in a smile

Tears break the seal of denial

Rosy colors are nice for a while but now I'm learning

And I slip off this rosy pair

Of lenses and you're still beautiful
