If I were a painter
I would paint my reverie
If that's the only way for you to be with me

We'd be there together
Just like we used to be
Underneath the swirling skies for all to see

And I'm dreaming of a place
Where I could see your face
And I think my brush would take me there
But only ...

If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you
I'd climb inside the skies to be with you

"If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you"

I wish it could all be true.. It's also ironic how this is jazz, and he always plays jazz.. I love him.

Voilà déjà deux année que j'écoute norah jones, come away with me, et je n'ai toujours pas oublié et continus à citer cette chanson et bien d'autre encore de norah jones, comme parmis mes préférées.

On croit connaître une chanson par coeur, du bout des doigts, mais c'est toujours un nouveau moment de réécouter... Encore et encore, car tout ce que dit ses chansons, à Norah, nous continuons tous à les vivre.

Taha

I love this song... it reminds me of you Jake, and how much fun we used to have, driving with you to practice, and now it's over and I have to wait till next fall, but I know those happy peaceful days will never be the same...

David, baby if I were a painter I would paint our memories of things to come and we would be able to share them with the world so that everyone would know my love for you is true.

Dreaming again, kind like Lonestar. Very picture-like.

I paint myself, and I love this song.. Is is a fantastic externalization of what goes on inside when you are trying to paint a person close to you.. It is hard, because you want to be with him/her... Not paint them.... I love this tune...

As he is all that is on my mind at this moment in time, this song reminds me of the person i love,
"If I were a painter, i would paint us together again, being apart from you is driving me insane..."

this song makes me think of when im old.....and perhaps after a friend would die.

Being an amateur painter myself, I love the way the song catches the aspect of being able to paint yourself anywhere, with anyone.

I am with {roey}...I wish that special someone felt the same as I do. This is a forever favorite.

I agree. I go from favorite to favorite song with Norah. This is my current one. I love the lyrics. I'm a learning painter, so this song is perfect and I love it

This song makes me think of my best friend and the way it is when I'm with her...both of us laugh our heads off, and I have the feeling we'll be friends forever...this sounds like something one of us would write when we are old and the other dies.

This song makes me think of my mom. She passed away 8 years ago this month. IF I WERE A PAINTER I would paint my mom just to be with here again. Nora has a beatiful and graceful voice that takes you away.

Sounds like it could be a love song to your lover or very closest friend who's passed away....sad but happy for the memories...

This song is so incredible... and her voice to the calm tunes makes you feel the love around...:) An i think my brush would take me there but only... if i were a painter

I absolutley adore this song... "IF I WERE A PAINTER I WOULD PAINT MY REVERIE IF THAT'S THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO BE WITH ME"... makes me think of someone special who doesn't think of me the same way..

just love this song...

Her lyrics are so poetic that you just get lost in your dreams when you're listening to her. I love this song and the metaphores she uses. She's so talented!
