Beneath a Painted Sky

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

And on the ceiling 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"

And through the years of growin' up, if somethin' made me cry

It didn't seem to hurt so bad 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

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
