"Dear Landseer" lyrics

Dear Landseer
We have been asked by the queen
She has heard you are the best
To capture her beloved animals for all to see

Dear Landseer
So highly thought of we agree
We know that your work is done
With love and care the Lions of Trafalgar Square

Highland scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with a grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, a hawk, a deer

Dear Landseer
If you will honor our request
You'll be far away from weekend parties
Sketching people having fun and dancing

Dear Landseer
A view of haunting delight
Show upon a hill a place where time stand still
Her special ones will run among leaves

Highland scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, and hawk, a deer

This beautiful painting
Is now on her wall
Standing tall
Immortalized
Now in oil

Dear Landseer
The veil of sadness that descended
Has been removed with this view

Dear Landseer
We thank you so much
There's no doubt you're the best loved artist in the land
There's no doubt you're the best loved in the land
There's no doubt you're the best loved in the land
