Here's a story of a little girl and troubles there were few
She had all the love the child could ever want to do
Her daddy gave her everything he could afford to buy
And on the ceiling in her room he painted her a sky
He told her not to be afraid when it stormed outside
He said in your room sweetheart the sun will always shine
And through the years of growing up if something made her cry
It didn't seem to hurt so bad beneath the painted sky
And she'd sing Beneath the painted sky that's where I'd long to be
A place to go when this old world gets the best of me
A
place where dreams come true and no one ever says goodbye
Oh I wish that I could live again beneath the painted sky
Girls grow up and fall in love and that's how it is
Sometimes this life don't treat them like their daddy did
And oft times they hurt so bad like our friend tonight
Makes them wanna be back home beneath the painted sky
And they'd sing
Beneath the painted sky that's where I'd
long to be A place to go when this old world gets the
best of me
A place where dreams come true and no one
ever says goodbye Oh I wish that I could live again beneath the
painted sky Oh I wish I were a kid again beneath the painted
sky
