Bill Withers - Paint Your Pretty Picture Lyrics
I will lay around sometimes and show some sadness,
For people whom I've known that now are gone,
And, I will cry to show you, try to show you, when I'm happy
And, when things are going wrong.
And give you strength when you need someone that's strong,
And I'll sit and cry with you, my dear, if need be,
And, I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.
I will PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
I will PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
Tell you tales of life as I see it,
And I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.
(I said) I'm gonna try my best to be there when you need me,
And I'll sit cry with you my dear, if need be,
And, I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song
(I said) I'm gonna PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
I am gonna PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
Tell you tales of life as I see it,
And I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.
(I said) I'm gonna PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song, with a song, with a song,
I am gonna paint you babe, PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song,
Tell you tales of life as I see it,
And I'll paint your pretty picture with a song, I'll paint your pretty picture,
I'll PAINT YOUR PRETTY PICTURE with a song.
[REPEAT Chorus/ Ritard Ending, last note up the octave]

Bill Withers Paint Your Pretty Picture Comments
What jack ass gave this a thumbs down Trump?
I first heard Carmen McRae sing this and was stunned to hear that it was a Bill Withers composition. Hauntingly beautiful.
I heard this performed on TV about 40 years ago, maybe it was the Jerry Lewis Telethon. I've very rarely heard it since.
still in 2019 and beyond....7/17/19
Заиста предивно... Непатворена емоција боје, звука и ријечи...
I meant to say soar, not sour.
I love how you can sing low notes and at the very end your voice sours to that really high note, you are so talented.
Meant to say soars not sours.
So many of family members have passed away and leave me here alone today and every tomorrow that I have left on this earth and I am sad, so very sad.
I know lost two brothers with in a year....I miss them both
Carmen McRae did a version of this. His writing is exquisite.
I try so hard to make my husband stop what he was doing , but he would not stop doing drugs, now we are no longer together, l tried so hard, now he just in my heart. That what this song makes me think about.
Don't know why I can't get through this song without breaking down...beautiful song, powerful but simple
Lyrics.
Paint your pretty picture with a song, such a beautiful, loving and thoughtful song.
I much prefer Elkie Brooks' version of this gem of a song.
My favorite by Bill Withers
Music and a message to span generations, Live on, Live on !
magnifique chanson
Constantine jasmen It is magnificent, Constantine, next pas?
Beyond beautiful.
Magnifique chanson.
Beautiful. So beautiful.
We should all b like this
God bless
Bill my heroXo Lenora
God bless
Lenora Williams I like your remarks, so many of my family members are in heaven, and I am left here alone, and sometimes that makes me so very sad. This song says how I feel.
love !!
This is one of my favorites . Just Beautiful
Nice song.
Carlos Santana, is one of the GREAT JOURNEYMAN Rock stars of my generation, whose work ethic should be applauded as much his music. Ability is important but dependability is critical, we can always depend on Carlos.
Stephen Jones Shouldn't this comment be under one of Santana's songs? NO disrepect for Carlos but I'm here for Bill.
+123veasy yup my mama got me onto bill withers the same way. I'm still a young cat at 23 and when I throw on some Bill Withers or Marvin my bros look at me like they disappointed, but I just look back at em the same way. Like you don't know nothing about real music!
SAY THAT...
TELL THEM TO JUST KEEP LIVING.
I agree 100&
@123veasey I dont know. I'm sure it's out there somewhere. People just arent trying to hear it anymore.
Great track
this is a classic foreal, mom's use to play this album to death. i love me some bill withers and talent like this do not exist anymore.
