If I were a painter I would paint you back to life

I would erase all the lines time has made

I would paint only happiness

Never any pain

I would paint the happy summer days

in feilds, in mountains, in streams

where we would play.

Grandma I always wanna stay this way

I don't wanna grow up today..

I would paint you back here with me.
