Joe Burke — Painting the Clouds With Sunshine

(Verse) This life's a play from the start It's hard to play through a part When there's an ache in your heart All day I have my dreams till the dawn I wake to find they are gone But still the play must go on They say (Chorus) When I pretend I'm gay I never feel that way I'm only painting the clouds with sunshine When I hold back a tear To make a smile appear I'm only painting the clouds with sunshine Painting the blues Beautiful hues Colored with gold and old rose Playing the clown Trying to drown All of my woes Though things may not look bright They'll all turn out all right If I keep the painting the clouds with sunshine (Instrumental break) Painting the blues Beautiful hues Colored with gold and old rose Playing the clown Trying to drown All of my woes Though things may not look bright They'll all turn out all right If I keep the painting the clouds with sunshine
