A Day at the Musée (d’Orsay)
My back hurts from so much walkin
I miss you so but the light and colors here
Oh such beauty is on display
There's a country church with a cobalt sky
All these strokes were made so boldly
A brush for Vincent pastels for Claude
No more browns and no more blacks
Apply the light tints last
A garden in Giverny has a pond and lilies and
Claude Monet seeing colors and lights
Just colors and lights which he paints for us over and over
My back hurts and I'm still thirsty
But I'm not leaving 'til I see it all
There's hope for us on all this canvas
I hear music in my head
It's true I long for you
If only I could be there
I would show you Degas
We would see Cezanne
It's true I miss you so
But now you're among those lovely things
A dance party in the Montmartre District
It's Renoir's master shows life and passion
It's all emotion, movement and life
A Paris evening under gas lights
I'm in this hall with couples caressing
While children complain to their weary mothers
This slice of life is wondrous and all
But I am all alone in this hall
A young boy peeks at Courbet's nude
While a woman looks for meaning on her iPhone screen
Humans can destroy way too easy
But we can create breathless beauty
My back hurts and I'm still thirsty
But I'm not leaving 'til I see it all
There's hope for us on all this canvas
Edith Piaf's in my head
It's true I long for you
If only I could be there
I would show you Degas
We would see Cezanne
It's true I miss you so
But now you're among those lovely things
Now I'm there with you I can hear the song I can see the beauty
Let's stay for ever let's have a laugh let's touch our skin like brushes on oil
All the works of art here the world wants to be here and I want to see them with you yes
Renoir, Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Degas, Cezanne, Seurat and Sisley
We will come back to see them all the colors and the lights
It's true I long for you
If only I could be there
I would show you Degas
But we would see Cezanne
It's true I miss you so
But now you're among those lovely things
I miss you so but the light and colors here
Oh such beauty is on display
There's a country church with a cobalt sky
All these strokes were made so boldly
A brush for Vincent pastels for Claude
No more browns and no more blacks
Apply the light tints last
A garden in Giverny has a pond and lilies and
Claude Monet seeing colors and lights
Just colors and lights which he paints for us over and over
My back hurts and I'm still thirsty
But I'm not leaving 'til I see it all
There's hope for us on all this canvas
I hear music in my head
It's true I long for you
If only I could be there
I would show you Degas
We would see Cezanne
It's true I miss you so
But now you're among those lovely things
A dance party in the Montmartre District
