Beneath A Painted Sky Tammy Wynette (with Emmy Lou Harris) 1987 Recording Transcriber: Awcantor@aol.com 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.
