Beneath A Painted Sky Feat Emmylou Harris lyrics

Tammy Wynette & Emmy Lou Harris

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.

Chorus:
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...
