- Verse:
- This life's a play from
the start, It's hard to play thru a part,
- When there's an ache in
your heart all day.
- I have my dreams 'til 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;
- Tho' things may not look
bright, They'll all turn out alright,
- If I keep painting the clouds
with sunshine.
