(Gary Morris - Kevin Welch)

Once was a woman
And once was a man
Who'd never been lovers
Just good friends.

Both of them happy
With rings on their hands
But they'd dreamed of each other
Romance.

So picture two people alone in a room
Together for the very first time
Candles are burnin'
Holding each other.

And picture two people
Whose dreams have come true
They must be going out of their minds
If for only a moment seems like forever.

Chorus:
Finishing touches
The canvas set to dry
Each color tells it's story
Of where and when and why
Finishing touches.

Now no one can know what a love is too life
Till they have to choose one
Lose one
And no one can know what a heartache is like
Till they have to break one
Take one.

Chorus:
Finishing touches
The canvas set to dry
Each color tells it's story
Of where and when and why
Finishing touches.

Now there is a woman
And there is a man
Who used to be good friends
Now their just lovers.

Their dreams of forever
Must come to an end
And stop all this madness
Some how recover.

So picture two people alone in a room
Who finally have made up their minds
Oh, how the tears flow
They both know
And picture them holdin' each other real tight
Knowing it's the very last time
They gotta let go
Let go.

Chorus:
Finishing touches
The canvas set to dry
Each color tells it's story
Of where and when and why
Finishing touches...
