Bill Withers - Paint Your Pretty Picture Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
