Old Promise

Hi everyone,
when this blog started all together, I made a post saying that I can get any song for anyone,
Mizo made a simple request of 2 songs, The Painter by Paul Anka, and My friend, My friend by Matt Monro.


Chill out Mizo, I just got one of your songs delivered :D ( sa7ee7 after a year and a half, bs still slow but reliable :P)
it's Paul Anka's the painter


The song is really touchy and here's it's lyrics

The painter paints away the day
As he paints his life away
Will he rise in judgment's eyes or fall
What a humble life he lives
He never sees the price they give
Another part of his soul upon a wall
Like a lonely soldier faces
Foreign shores and empty spaces
Such as he - who strokes to free his soul
Isolation steeped in sadness
Mellowed by the fears of madness
There he stands as he commands control
Deeper than the eye can see
Another man's philosophy
While he lives the price they give is small

Like a lonely soldier faces
Foreign shores and empty spaces
Such as he - who strokes to free his soul
Isolation steeped in sadness
Mellowed by the fears of madness
There he stands as he commands control
When he dies and on that day
The sky's as high a price they'll pay
While he lives the price they give is small
While he lives the price they give is small

piano...



and here's the Song

Eddie!

I know NOT how to thank you enough! I was speechless when I read your post!

What really shocked me was not how you got the song or its lyrics, rather how you clinged to your promise-- a promise that was not eroded by the cruel effect of time.


You are a man who keeps his word, and this is such a precious quality.

..I thank you again and again.
