Picture of Perfection (MJRF)

Description

This was written and recorded back in 1975. It was transferred from reel-to-reel tape onto CD in 2005, the year I joined MacJams. For the reunion, I cleaned it up with SoundSoap and remixed it.

Picture of Perfection is a young man’s dream; a mental image of his dream girl; the perfect woman for him. Of course, he dreamed this long before he learned that the real worth of a woman is found in her heart

I hope you enjoy this one boy's sojourn into dreamland.

Lyrics

Picture of Perfection

The crystal lights
Of heavenly nights
Shine on your hair
Shine on your hair
The moonlit night
Seems to right
In my eyes
In my eyes

Your eyes are so blue
They sparkle in the night
In my eyes
In my eyes
Your hair is so golden
It outshines the light
In my eyes
In my eyes

Chorus

Your skin is smooth and silken
Your touch an angel’s caress
In my eyes
In my eyes
Your body is delightful
How could I ask for more
In my eyes
In my eyes

Chorus:
The picture of perfection
My goddess of love come true
You’re always in my mind’s eye
A picture of me and you

	Picture of Perfection Why the sound of the acoustic guitars back in the 70s where so awesome than now ? ...very honest and deep singing lyrics ...always a true joy listening to this wonderful song ...thank you so very much for sharing such gem !!!! Check out my latest song called Roll with it

	Feter I also think that because it was recorded originally on excellent analogue tape equipment that will capture the sound more truly than electronic recording does.I am a vinylophile and proud of it.

	Blast from the past Rick, I think it's great that you saved a 34 year old song and transferred it onto CD to share with us here. Your voice is sweet, and so is your playing. The soundsoap really got out the hum from the reel to reel, too. :-) Check out my latest song called Emma, by davisamerica
