Remember Me This Way - Steve Martin, Edie Brickell

Painter would you paint my portrait

Paint me wearing the finest clothes in town

Make me look like I’m somebody

Make me a little younger than I am now

Will you please remember me

Remember me this way

Will you please remember me

I want to be remembered this way

Paint me with a happy family

Kids and dogs and babies all around

Paint us on the bank of a river

Put the horses and a house in the background

Will you please remember me

Remember me this way

Will you please remember me

I want to be remembered this way

Make it a work of art

A real sight to see

Make it a work of art

A real masterpiece

Don’t forget my dear companion

Put someone who loves me by my side

Will you please remember me

Remember me this way

Will you please remember me

I want to be remembered this way

Painter would you paint my portrait

I want to be remembered this way
