BENEATH A PAINTED SKY

There never was a little girl
more wanted than me
I had all the love a child
could ever want or need
Daddy gave me everything
he could afford to buy
An' on the ceilin' in my room
he painted me a sky.

He told me not to be afraid
when it stormed outside
He said, 'In your room,
sweetheart the sun
will always shine'.
An' through the years
of growin' up if somethin'
made me cry
It didn't seem to hurt so bad
beneath the painted sky.

Beneath the painted sky
that's where I want 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 the men
don't love 'em
like their daddy's did
Sometimes the hurt's so bad
the way it is tonight
It makes me wanna be back home
beneath the painted sky.

Beneath the painted sky
that's where I want 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 was a kid again
beneath the painted sky...
