Carmen McRae - At the Great American Music Hall

Paint Your Pretty Picture (Live At The Great American Music Hall/1976)

I will lay, around sometimes and show some sadness
For people whom I've known that now are gone
And I will smile to show you when I'm happy
And let you know when things are going wrong

I will try my best to be there when you need me
And give you strength when you need someone strong
And I'll sit and cry with you, my dear, if need be
And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song

I will paint your pretty picture with a song, hm, hm
I will paint your pretty picture with a song
Tell your tales of life as I see it
And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song

Get it, get it, girl (whoa)

I said I'm gonna try my best to be there
When you need me
I am gonna give you strength
When you need someone strong
I'll sit and cry with you, my dear, if need be
And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song

I said I'm gonna paint your pretty picture with a song
I am gonna paint you, babe
Paint your pretty picture with a song
Tell you tales of life, exactly as I see it
I'm gonna paint your pretty picture with a song
