Remember Me This Way

Painter, would you paint my portrait?
Paint me wearing the finest clothes in town
Make me look like I'm somebody
Make me a little younger than I am now

Will you please remember me
Remember me this way?
Will you please remember me
I want to be remembered this way?

Paint me with a happy family
Kids and dogs and babies all around
Paint us on the bank of a river
Put the horses and a house in the background

Will you please remember me
Remember me this way?
Will you please remember me?
I want to be remembered this way

Make it a work of art
A real sight to see
Make it a work of art
A real masterpiece
Don't forget my dear companion
Put someone who loves me by my side

Will you please remember me
Remember me this way
Will you please remember me
I want to be remembered this way

Painter would you paint my portrait
I want to be remembered this way
