If I could paint pictures I'd paint one for you

A picture portraying the love we once knew

Then a tear would reveal the sorrow in me

As I painted white fences and evergreen trees

Love can be greater than the mountains or seas

But it's only as great as two hearts believe

Faith blew away in yesterdays breeze

And we lost our white fences and evergreen trees

[ piano ]

I've walked through a valley and cried all night long

In search for the reason why true love goes wrong

With a prayer on my lips the earth touching my knees

I prayed for white fences and evergreen trees

Love can be greater...
