Masterpiece

There were forty little houses

In a place

They called High River

And everyone knew Tim

Since the day he was born

He was a little different

Some might call it slow

But when Nellie moved to town

She saw his heart of gold

They found each other

And never spent

Another day apart

Whoever would have dreamed

In his quiet eyes

She'd find the piece

To make her life complete

Oh you could say

It was a work of art

Like someone took a brush

And painted there hearts

Together they made

Such a beautiful thing

And oh if there was anything

That they could do right

It was painting love

In the perfect light

So we could see

That love is a masterpiece

Yeah

Well Tim always

Had a little trouble

With letters and numbers

So Nellie paid the bills

And read all the mail

No one worked harder

For miles around

Tim was the best farmhand

And Nellie was proud

A year went by of saving

Their nickels and dimes

They had a little boy

They named him Daniel

And he became

Their pride and joy

Oh you could say

It was a work of art

Like someone took a brush

And painted there hearts

Together they made

Such a beautiful thing

And oh if there was anything

That they could do right

It was painting love

In the perfect light

So we could see that

Love is a masterpiece

Everybody said that

They were so

Close to heaven

That they didn't

Have far to go

Somehow it all made sense

That they all went together

That night on that dark road

Oh you could say

It was a work of art

Like someone took a brush

And painted their hearts

Together they made

Such a beautiful thing

And oh if there was anything

That they could do right

It was painting love

In the perfect light

So we could see

That love is a masterpiece

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Love is a masterpiece

Yeah

Love is a masterpiece

Love is a masterpiece

Love is a masterpiece

Hooh

Love is a masterpiece

Love is a masterpiece
