Why don't you paint me a picture
And make it shine like gold
See my friend seems to think I am wrong
When all I need is a little bit of beautiful
How 'bout you take all of the sadness
And paint it up in a shade of blue
All the greens and tangerines
The colours that seem so serene
Means I'm thinking of you
Yellow's for the sunshine
Red is for the wine
I'll take a pinch of silver for the sea
And if by chance we have the light
It would be my one delight
If maybe you could spend a little time with me
What about you fade all your fancies
And make it out in a colour so bold
'Cause all who see then must believe
That all we need is a little bit of growing old
How bout you take all of the happiness
And paint it up in a turquoise and fire
All the while I'll sit and smile and on my feet I'd walk for miles
All because I believe we'd get a little higher
Yellow's for the sunshine
Red is for the wine
I'll take a pinch of silver for the sea
And if by chance we have the light
It would be my one delight
If maybe you could spend a little time with me
Then again you could take all your chances
And shade it in any way you see fine
'Cause anywhere you walk in this world
If you and your way you know I won't be far behind
Maybe we could take in the stars tonight
Or maybe we could cosy up and doze
The moon it seems has seen our dreams
And told the sun to paint this scene
Funny thing is we're the only ones who know
Yellow's for the sunshine
Red is for the wine
I'll take a pinch of silver for the sea
And if by chance we have the light
It would be my one delight
If maybe you could spend a little time with me
