portrait of jennie

a portrait of jennie

more precious to me

than a masterpiece

how ever famous it be

the portrait of jennie

is etched on my heart

where her features have been

sketched from the start

ah

the color and beauty of life

and the glow of her spirit divine

all cast in heaven's own design

with a portrait of jennie

i never will part

for there isn't any portrait of jennie

except in my heart

for there isn't any portrait of jennie

except in my heart
