Painter

He's a lovely man with a whistle on his lips
a painter and he loves to paint red tulips
a good guy and a friend to everyone he meets
and when he buys new paint in the little store
you see him smile when he walks out the door. uhhhh

chorus: he said play me a picture
i said paint me a song
for many years we've come together each day
i sing about flowers and he paints for hours
and when i go i say... see you monday

we sat down on his balcony
watched the people from above and drank a cup of tea
i said, lets turn the tables for just one day
he gave me his brushes and i gave him my guitar
we smiled and he started to play. uhhhh

chorus: he said play me a picture
i said paint me a song
for many years we've come together each day
i sing about flowers and he paints for hours
and when i go i say... see you monday

one day a man came and said
i pay millions for your art. he said
thanks i'm as rich as i can be. 'cause i've all the things you can't buy
with money

chorus: he said play me a picture
i said paint me a song
for many years we've come together each day
i sing about flowers and he paints for hours
and when i go i say... see you monday
