| That old master painter from the faraway hills
|
| Painted the violets and the daff-o-dills
|
| He put the purple in the twilight haze
|
| Then did a rainbow for the rainy days
|
| Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies
|
| Painted the devil in my darlin’s eyes
|
| Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills
|
| The old master painter from the faraway hills
|
| Then came his masterpiece and when he was through
|
| He smiled down from heaven and he gave me you
|
| What a beautiful job on that wonderful day
|
| That old master painter from the hills far away
|
| (repeat) Dreamed up etc. |
