Painting Her Portrait - Marla Schaffel[00:00:00]

What a fool I have been to wonder[00:00:02]

If he might have a care for me[00:00:06]

How insane the thought that you[00:00:09]

Could be to him dear in any way[00:00:12]

That a more absurd young girl has lived[00:00:16]

I doubt that you could say[00:00:19]

You a favorite of Mr. Rochester[00:00:21]

Gifted with the power[00:00:24]

Your logic's fading by the hour[00:00:25]

And to no avail jane[00:00:27]

Poor blind puppy[00:00:29]

Had to go on dreaming[00:00:31]

Had to try to give your life some meaning[00:00:33]

Still you fail jane[00:00:34]

How dare you think that there's a place[00:00:36]

In his heart for you[00:00:40]

I'm painting my portrait[00:00:53]

An absolute likeness[00:00:56]

Faithful to illustrate[00:01:00]

Every fine line[00:01:03]

I'm mastering detail[00:01:06]

Highlighting defects[00:01:09]

Making a permanent mirror to see[00:01:13]

All of the faults that lie hidden in me[00:01:18]

I'm painting my portrait[00:01:25]

It's plain and uneven[00:01:28]

Reminding me of what I am[00:01:31]

What I must be[00:01:34]

I'm leaving out nothing[00:01:37]

No matter how painful[00:01:39]

All of my flaws on display to be seen[00:01:42]

Now my painting is done[00:01:56]

I'll start another[00:02:00]

This one of her[00:02:02]

And when I close my eyes[00:02:06]

I clearly see her face[00:02:08]

Capture her grace and poise[00:02:10]

Fight back the tears and I'm[00:02:13]

Painting her portrait[00:02:16]

An absolute likeness[00:02:18]

The loveliest face[00:02:21]

The most delicate skin[00:02:24]

A tribute to beauty[00:02:27]

The perfect miss ingram[00:02:30]

Omit neither diamond ring[00:02:33]

Nor golden rose[00:02:36]

Make her a lady of rank[00:02:39]

Glistening satin[00:02:43]

Oh how she glows[00:02:45]

Mix in your finest tints[00:02:49]

Paint her dramatically[00:02:51]

With all your sweetest hues[00:02:53]

Sit here fanatically[00:02:55]

Painting our portraits[00:02:58]

This one will live[00:03:04]

All of her life as a governess[00:03:07]

Just a lonely governess[00:03:11]

This one will always be happy[00:03:14]

And marry a man[00:03:17]

Who will carry her away[00:03:20]

And should you fancy[00:03:24]

That he really loves you[00:03:26]

Just compare the pictures[00:03:29]

Two completely different mixtures[00:03:31]

You should be ashamed jane[00:03:32]

Why would he settle for a slave[00:03:34]

Why would he settle for a slave[00:03:38]

When he could have a queen[00:03:40]

Jane it's foreseen jane[00:03:41]

Don't even dare any more[00:03:44]

To compare[00:03:47]

Say a prayer[00:03:48]

For your sorry soul[00:03:49]

Jane[00:03:53]
