Masterpiece

(Ben Harper)

[Originally by Ben Harper]

Could paint the sun and the moon

And the stars straight down from the sky

Carve your likeness in stone

Down to the light that shines in your eyes

Build a church in your honor

Stained glass windows facing east

Loving you is my masterpiece

Love you for who you are

I love you for who you may never be

From downtown all the way up to 142nd street

And all of my possessions mean less than the very least

Loving you is my masterpiece

There's no time like now

There is no place like here

So throw your loving arms around me dear

And i'll lean on you like a beggar

Leans upon the moonlit streets

Loving you is my masterpiece
