I Need Someone (The Painter)

The painter took his paintbrush
And he tried to paint a scene
About a girl he once met
One night inside a dream

But throughout the night he painted
And by the following day
An image lived on canvas
Through two eyes that had to say

I need someone, someone to care
Someone who's real, with love to share

He chose the brightest colors
To mix with his palette knife
And then some final touches
Brought the picture into life

The painter whispered words of love
The picture could not here
He sadly took his paintbrush
And he cleaned it with a tear

I need someone, someone to care
Someone who’s real, with love to share

He glanced upon his painting
Smiling as he saw
She lived through concrete statues
Throughout mankind and all war

I need someone, someone like you
To give me love, my whole life through
I need someone, someone to care
Someone who's real, with love to share
