My Love
Matt And Sherry McPherson Lyrics

The first two lines of Matt and Sherry McPherson's "My Love," "There could never be a portrait of my love / For nobody could paint a dream," set the tone for the entire song. The singer believes that his love is too unique and special to be captured in any tangible form, like a painting or a photograph. He believes that his love for her is something that can only exist in his mind, and that nothing can duplicate it. The next two lines, "You will never see a portrait of my love / For miracles are never seen," reinforce this idea that this love is something extraordinary, to the point where it is almost impossible for anyone else to understand it.

The following lines, "Anyone who sees her, soon forgets the Mona Lisa / It would take, I know, a Michelangelo / And he would need the glow of dawn that paints the sky above / To try and paint a portrait of my love," further emphasize the singer's point. He believes that his love is so beautiful and unique that it would make the Mona Lisa look forgettable in comparison. To try to capture it in a painting, it would take someone as skilled as Michelangelo, and even then, they would need the help of Mother Nature herself to create an accurate representation of this love. In essence, the singer is claiming that his love is something that is beyond comprehension and cannot be tamed by any form of art.
