PAINTED SKIES

Lyrics & music written by Leo Nicholas Lemon (1978)

[instrumental introduction]

There's a memory of your face in my pocket,

An image of our flight into the sun,

I guess our love must have gotten too hot babe,

Now I just hope what is done is done.

(What's done is done).

You're as beautiful a person can be, baby,

There could never be another you (Not for me).

You gave to me as a little child, my girl,

What no other woman could ever do.

(I love you).

Chorus: And I'll sail the troubled skyways,

With my wings out pushing hard,

And I'll fly like a soul (fly like a soul) going higher and higher,

Baby, I'm goin' to reach the PAINTED SKIES.

Babe, you'll never know, just how true I've been,

And possibly you would not really care,

But, with the beauty you've shown me,

My Love, I could never share.

Chorus: And I'll sail the troubled skyways,

With my wings out pushing hard,

And I'll fly like a soul (fly like a soul) going higher and higher,

Baby, I'm goin' to reach the Painted Skies.

PAINTED SKIES!

[instrumental-harmonica solo].
