(i'm gonna paint me) a bed of roses

in our bedroom there's a portrait done in different shades of gray

that i painted out before you broke my heart

in the scatch we're arm in arm but in the background there's a storm

and it soon become and tear my world apart. and before my days are over i'm gonna try my hand again

do a portrait like i wanted life to be

put some flowers on the ground and color springtime all around

and paint the bed of roses just for me. i'm gonna paint me a bed of roses

one without one single cloud in a big blue sky

yeah i'm gonna paint me a bed of roses

where love and patience never die.
