I try to paint pictures drawn from my world
A song is my canvas, brush strokes are words
But do I portray love, that is just my ideal
Like sculptures of stone that can never be realFor I am a man with romance in my soul
Do I cry for the moon as I reach for my goal
Looking for a perfect love
Longing for a perfect loveBorn of such innocence, how little we save
Our spirits are tempered from cradle to grave
If one drop of virtue can somehow survive
From oceans of doubt all our dreams can ariseFor I am a man with a child in his soul
I live on my hopes as I follow that road
Looking for the perfect love
Longing for the perfect loveA thirst for perfection is in every heart
Like the painter who won't be content with his art
For those who drink deeply, all dreams heavy wine
Look for heaven on earth, see a world more divineLooking for a perfect love
Longing for a perfect love
Looking for a perfect love
Longing for a perfect love
