Ai vocal, my lyrics, my guitar, Biab real tracks. It’s become quite evident that there are many

folks pretty well dug in on the side of traditional music production. This seems to happen every

time there is a tech advance in this area. Biab on floppy disk, real tracks, Melodyne, auto tune,

have all been victims of this way of thinking. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I fully

respect that but caution that when it comes to the future it’s hard to go back. The vocal here is

not perfect. There are still a few spots that I had trouble with and finally surrendered and

moved on. These comments are not meant to offend anyone here on the best and most

friendly online community. Thanks in advance to all who listen and comment.

Paint Me A Picture


I used to have a memory that was like a steel trap

Now it’s a little bit rusty but it’s all I really have

I recall when times were easy and didn’t need so much thought

I’d sit and read then put down the book just to watch you draw


(Chorus)

Honey Can you paint me a picture of how we used to be

Our little frame house in the shade Of a live oak tree

that weathered white fence that kept the world away

From you and me

Honey Can you paint me a picture of how we used to be


(Verse)

Now and then I look back to a long forgotten dream

Maybe our lives were just as hard but that’s not the way it seems

now it’s nothing but a struggle and I always am amazed

Of that gentle comfort of better days


(Chorus)

Honey Can you paint me a picture of how we used to be

Our little frame house in the shade Of a live oak tree

that weathered white fence that kept the world away

From you and me

Honey Can you paint me a picture of how we used to be


(Bridge)

Life moves so fast what’s in the past simply fades away

It makes me sad that what we had is now our better days


(Chorus)

Honey Can you paint me a picture of how we used to be

Our little frame house in the shade Of a live oak tree

that weathered white fence that kept the world away

From you and me

Honey Can you paint me a picture of how we used to be
