Lyrics The Old Master Painter - Mel Torme, Peggy Lee

The Old Master Painter

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.
