เพลง Forever Beautiful

Forever Beautiful (永远美好) - Patti LuPone

Written by：Scott Frankel/Michael Korie

These portraits

They trap me in amber

They will not age

They will live forever

My Dali dear

That mad surrealist

He made me beautiful

Forever Beautiful

My eyes like gems

Notice please each tiny lash

Would you believe he

Painted with his own mustache

Raoul Dufy

A brilliant colorist

He made me beautiful

Forever Beautiful

A few deft strokes

Poppy red and iris blue

In my small way

I do know something of this too

Made women glorious

Made women glamorous

Used all my art

To halt the march of time

I slowed it down a bit

There is no stopping it

But in a painting

It is always your prime

Right

Tamara de Lempicka

She was bisexual

You see her love for me

But it's sub textual

My lifelong fight

Is to keep my figure trim

But now I eat

'Cause Giacometti keeps me slim

Seven guest rooms

When was the last time

She even had a visitor

She's old and scared

Wouldn't you be

Good go then you money men

I read your beady eyes

'Vain old lady all alone

In bed until she dies'

I admit

I am a little bit afraid to meet death

But with brilliant eye for art

When I depart

I'll cheat death

With my Picasso

His early cubist years

I posed no clothes with him

Thank God who knows with him

He says 'Your ears

Are like elephant in size'

I say from you well

Who can tell from ears or eyes

When I was girl of eight

My papa sneered at me

A plainer face he'd never seen before

I said to hell with fate

I'll mold my destiny

Packed my satchel

And walked right out the door

From discontented life

Without a cent I was

Became a name

The world could not ignore

I reinvent my life

As every artist does

I had nothing

I knew nothing

I only know

There must be something more

So much more

Look at them all

Their light will never dim

If death should come for me

They bar the door on him

Though flesh may fade

Canvas lives immortally

And there I'll hang

From now through all eternity

Who gives a d**n

No children visit me

These are my progeny

Each an exquisite me

Who says I'm old

I look at my life so far

And I am beautiful

And I feel beautiful

Forever beautiful

When you feel beautiful

You are
