Alabama - You Only Paint The Picture Once lyrics

Look at those evening shadows

Casting a peaceful light

The sun is disappearing

It's a beautiful sight

Moments caught forever

By the master's touch

A lasting reminder

To us

You only paint the picture once

(And) you only get one chance

Take the time to do your best

While the brush is in your hand

Make sure it's just right

Before the colors dry

You can't change it once it's done

You only paint the picture once

Love is the canvas

That's where it all starts

A lifetime together

Becomes a work of art

Just look what's been created

Between your heart and mine

Oh I believe that we're one of a kind

You only paint the picture once

(And) you only get one chance

Take the time to do your best

While the brush is in your hand

Make sure it's just right

Before the colors dry

You can't change it once it's done

You only paint the picture once

It's a portrait of life

You can't live it twice

You only paint the picture once
