Lyrics Bettie Serveert

Bettie Serveert

Keepsake

Wrapped up in blue, painted by me and you

A sudden thought exchanged by the two

Somehow keeps smiling through

It's all we got and still

It sometimes seems so near

And then I reach out and it just disappears

Was it something that I said

I feel so many moods

There written all across your head

Would I dare to intrude

You sometimes feel so near

But then I reach out and it just disappears

Like the smell of falling rain

Or mown grass in the park

The kind of things you can't explain

But feel them in your heart

It sometimes seems so clear

Then I reach out and it just disappears

Paint this day, let's keep this one forever

And wrap it up inside your heart

Paint this day, for worse if not for better

And wrap it up inside your heart

'Cause that's why I

Sometimes stay awake

Pondering endlessly on

Each of our mistakes

Just for keepsake
