There were forty little houses in a place they called High River
And everyone knew Tim since the day he was born
He was a little different some might call it slow
But when Nellie moved to town she saw his heart of goldThey found each other and never spent another day apart
Whoever would have dreamed in his quiet eyes
She'd find the piece to make her life completeOh you could say it was a work of art
Like someone took a brush and painted there hearts
Together they made such a beautiful thing
And oh if there was anything that they could do right
It was painting love in the perfect light
So we could see that love is a masterpieceYeah well Tim always had a little trouble with letters and numbers
So Nellie paid the bills and read all the mail
No one worked harder for miles around
Tim was the best farmhand and Nellie was proudA year went by of saving their nickels and dimes
They had a little boy they named him Daniel
And he became their pride and joyOh you could say it was a work of art
Like someone took a brush and painted their hearts
Together they made such a beautiful thing
And oh if there was anything that they could do right
It was painting love in the perfect light
So we could see that love is a masterpieceEverybody said that they were so close to heaven
That they didn't have far to go
Somehow it all made sense that they all went together
That night on that dark roadOh you could say it was a work of art
Like someone took a brush and painted their hearts
Together they made such a beautiful thing
And oh, if there was anything that they could do right
It was painting love in the perfect light
So we could see that love is a masterpieceLove is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
