Starts and Ends

I was the painter of pictures
You cherished and loved
I was the princess they all tried to please
And never got enough
I never took it for granted, not a single day
If I could, I never would
Change a single phrase
I’ll make the rain begin
As if it never stops
I’ll make it flood away the ground under us
And make a water world out of here
And you’re so content just to be
It all starts and ends with me
New York to Paris
And hotels and limos and planes
Twenty-four seven of telling the truth
Unable to explain
I never took it on lightly, not a single day
And if I could, I never would
Change these crazy ways
I feel you
I’m near you
Stay, stay
