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 gold They 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 complete Oh 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 masterpiece Yeah 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 proud A year went by of saving Their nickels and dimes They had a little boy They named him Daniel And he became Their pride and joy Oh 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 masterpiece Everybody 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 road Oh 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 masterpiece Yeah, yeah, yeah Love is a masterpiece Yeah Love is a masterpiece Love is a masterpiece Love is a masterpiece Hooh Love is a masterpiece Love is a masterpiece
