Lyrics

If I could paint, I'd paint a portrait of you
The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth
And a single tear like a silent prayer
That's shining so much brighter
Than a diamond ever dared
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you
If I could write, I'd write a book for you
A tale of hidden treasures with an I.O.U
And a million words couldn't say a thing
That won't be said in three words
Where love's the central theme
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you
Darling can't you see
What you mean to me
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do, I'd do it for you
Sometimes I feel so second-rate
Seems loving you was my greatest mistake
I know I'm insecure
And love don't keep score
But I wish I could give you more
If I could play, I'd play up a storm for you
A raging sea of passion that you never knew
Every whispered sound would touch your heart
And maybe for a moment
I could be your favorite star
If I could do anything at all
If I could, I'd give you more
If I could do anything at all
I'd do it for you
And darling can't you see
You mean the world to me
Anything that I can do
I'll do it for you
And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do I'll do it
I'll do it for you
