Story behind the song
I have seen so much of this happen around the country in the past few years it inspired me to tell their story
Lyrics
"Paint Me A picture Of Happiness
On the corner stands a beggar with a homemade sign
not knowing if and what he'll get
and his tomorrows are dim as a cloudy night
as he rolls another cigarette
(chorus)
So....paint me a pict-ure of happi-ness make all the
colors be bright, wash away all the darkened hues
of long lonely nights.
Place in some rays of sweet sunshine and an a stroke or
2 of hope, and paint me a picture of happiness like I use
to know
Down the road in a schoolyard hope fades away
cause a young girl has no lunch
her Daddy lost his job at the factory
he's been out of work for months
(chorus)
So....paint me a pict-ure of happi-ness make all the
colors be bright, wash away all the darkened hues
of long lonely nights.
Place in some rays of sweet sunshine and an a stroke or
2 of hope, and paint me a picture of happiness like I use
to know
****music *****
Over in a church on 5th and main
a young man kneels in prayer
the doctor gave his wife only months to live
and he's tellin God he's scared
(chorus)
So....paint me a pict-ure of happi-ness make all the
colors be bright, wash away all the darkened hues
of long lonely nights.
Place in some rays of sweet sunshine and an a stroke or
2 of hope, and paint me a picture of happiness like I use
to know
