Fiddle-de-de
Fiddle-de-dum
I will not be the sadder one
Hi-de-hi
Hi-de-ho
Well there's more to this
You should know

If i'm the one you wish to paint
You cannot brush away my mistakes
If i'm the muse for amusements sake
Then i will bid farewell

Fiddle-de-de
Fiddle be done
I'm no savior
Just a son
Hi-de-hi
Hi-de-ho
If you pray for this
You should know

If i'm the one you wish to paint
You cannot brush away my mistakes
No good will come from measuring up
This glass just isn't full
No…

If i'm the one you wish to paint
Please know i'm a man
But not a saint
No good will come from measuring up
This glass isn't full
But it's full enough to love
Love…

If i'm the one you wish to paint
Please take what i am
O eden and snake
No good will come from measuring up
This glass isn't full
But it's full enough to love
Love…
