I'll paint you a rainbow to hang on the wall

To brighten your heart when the grey shadows fall

On a canvas of joy outlasting the years

With a soft brush of sweetness to dry all your tears.



I'll paint you a rainbow with colors of smiles

That glow with sincerity over the miles

On a palette of words I will tenderly blend

Tones into treasures of sunlight and wind.



I'll paint you a rainbow that reaches so wide

Your sights and your sorrows will vanish inside

And deep in the center of each different hue

A memory fashioned especially for you.



So lift up your eyes, for suspended above

A rainbow designed by the fingers of love...
