Laurie Maitland Lyrics
"I'll Paint You A Rainbow"

I'll paint you a rainbow to hang on the wall
To brighten up your heart when the gray shadows fall
On a canvas of joy outlasting the years
With a soft brush of sweetness to dry all your tears
I'll paint you a rainbow with colors of smiles
That glow with sincerity over the miles
On a palette of words I will tenderly blend
Tones into treasures of sunlight and wind

In the sunny skies above the land and sea
I'll paint you a rainbow
Red, yellow, orange, pink, blue, purple and green
With a paintbrush in my hand and I'll paint you a dream
It's a miracle to behold and see the picture perfect paintings
Of universal love that comes from the heart
When any of those pictures seem to fade to black and white
By watercolors and oil on canvas, as human works of art
I will be the world famous painter of all
To paint you a dream and I'll paint you a rainbow

I'll paint you a rainbow that reaches so wide
Your sights and your sorrows will vanish inside
And deep in the center of each different hue
A memory fashioned especially for you
So lift up your eyes, for suspended above
A rainbow designed by the fingers of love...

In the sunny skies above the land and sea
I'll paint you a rainbow
Red, yellow, orange, pink, blue, purple and green
With a paintbrush in my hand and I'll paint you a dream
It's a miracle to behold and see the picture perfect paintings
Of supernatural love that comes from the heart
When any of those pictures seem to fade to black and white
By watercolors and oil on canvas, as lovely works of art
I will be the world-class painter of all
To paint you a dream and I'll paint you a rainbow
