I was the painter of pictures You cherished and loved I was the princess they all tried to please, And never got enough I never took it for granted, not a single day If I could, I never would Change a single phrase I'll make the rain begin As if it never stops I'll make it flood away the ground under us And make a water world out of here And you're so content just to be It all starts and ends with me New York to Paris And hotels and limos and planes Twenty-four seven of telling the truth, Unable to explain I never took it on lightly, not a single day And if I could, I never would Change these crazy ways I feel you I'm near you Stay, stay
