Painting The Day

(Album: Captain Sad And His Ship Of Fools - 1968)

Painting the day
When I woke up
All of the sky looked gray
So I took my brush and painted the clouds away
I'm just painting the day

A little dab of sunshine
Painting the day
Making it nice so children can run and play
Coloring flowers so lovers can give bouquets
I'm just painting the day

I'm getting all my colors from the rainbow
And making sure the world is filled with sunglow
Painting the day
Pictures of love
And giving them all away
Here's one for you
Blue skies instead of gray
I'm just painting the day

I'm getting all my colors from the rainbow
And making sure the world is filled with sunglow
Painting the day
When I woke up
All of the sky looked gray
So I took my brush and painted the clouds away

I'm just painting the day
Oh, blue skies instead of gray
I'm just painting the day
Yeah, blue skies instead of gray
Oh, I'm just painting the day
Blue skies instead of gray
Yeah, I'm just painting the day
Oh, blue skies instead of gray...
