Your Beauty Disappears

from Comeuppance, See Me Sometime by John Dunbar

/

about

A theme for those who are far from photogenic.

lyrics

Your Beauty Disappears

I saw your work ID
And thought, "Who the hell is she?"
I can't recognize you at all, were you in disguise?
Pictures can deceive, and make your glamor leave
I will eat my hat if you look anything like that

Your beauty disappears in photographs
Your beauty disappears in photographs
When you're standing near me it'a a lovely view
The camera may not love you, but I do

A painted portrait might
Show you in true light
I know why you deny my pictures to remember you by

Your beauty disappears in photographs
Your beauty disappears in photographs
The person inside the frame looks nothing like you
The camera may not love you but I do

I hope that you find
The mirror is more kind
Wish that you were me so you'd see what I love to see

Your beauty disappears in photographs
Your beauty disappears in photographs
Now I'm summing it up because I thought the whole thing through
The camera may not love you, but I do
The camera acts so crook-like
But I know what you really look like
