Lyrics

Paint Your Pretty Picture

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I will lay around sometimes and show some sadness

For people whom I've known that now are gone

And I will smile to show you when I'm happy

And let you know when things are going wrong

I will try my best to be there when you need me

And give you strength when you need someone strong

And I'll sit and cry with you my dear if need be

And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song

Chorus:

I will paint your pretty picture with a song

I will paint your pretty picture with a song

I will paint your pretty picture with a song

I'll tell you tales of life as I see it

And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song

I will try my best to be there when you need me

And give you strength when you need someone strong

And I'll sit and cry with you my dear if need be

And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song

Repeat Chorus
