  • Verse 1
    Eighty years, 
    an 

    old lady 
    now, 

    sitting on the 
    front porch 

    Watching the clouds roll 
    by 

    They remind 
    her of 
    her lover, how he 
    left her, and 
    of 
    times long ago, 


    When she used color 
    carelessly, 

    painted 
    his portrait 

    A thousand 
    times, 

    or maybe just 
    his smile, 

    Her and 
    her canvas 
    would follow 
    him 

    wherever 
    he would go 

    Verse 2
    'Cause they were 
    painters 
    and they 

    were 
    painting themselves 

    A lovely 
    world 

    Verse 3
    Oil streaked 
    daisies covered 

    the living 
    room walls 

    He put water 
    colored roses 
    in her 
    hair 

    He said, 
    "Love, I 
    love you, 

    I want to give you 
    the mountains, 

    the sunshine, 

    The sunset 
    too 

    I want 
    to give you a 
    world 
    as 
    beautiful 

    as you 
    are 
    to me" 

    'Cause I'm 
    a painter 
    and I 
    want 
    Verse 4

    to paint 
    you 

    A lovely 
    way 

    Verse 5

    So they sat 
    down and made 
    a drawing 
    of their love, 


    They made it 
    an art 
    to live 
    by 

    They painted 
    every passion, 
    every 
    home, 

    created 
    every 
    beautiful child 

    In the 
    winter 
    they were 

    weavers 
    of 
    warmth, 

    In the 
    summer 
    they were carpenters 

    of 
    love 

    They thought 
    blue prints 
    were too 

    sad 
    so they made 
    them yellow 

    And 
    they were painters 
    and 
    they had 
    Verse 6

    painted themselves 

    lovely 
    world 

    Verse 7
    Until one 
    day the 
    rain fell 

    as thick 
    as black 
    oil 

    And 
    in her 
    heart she 

    knew something 
    was 
    wrong 

    She 
    went 
    running through 
    the 

    orchard screaming, 

    "No 
    God, 
    don't take him 

    from me!" 

    But by the time 
    she got 
    there, 

    she feared 
    he already 
    had 
    gone 

    She got to 
    where he 
    lay, 

    water 
    colored 
    roses 
    in his 
    hands 
    for her

    She threw them 
    down screaming, 

    "Damn 
    you man, 
    don't leave 
    me 

    With nothing 
    left be
    hind 
    but these cold 
    paintings, 

    these cold 
    portraits 

    To 
    remind 
    me!" 

    Verse 8

    He said, 
    "Love I 
    only 
    leave 
    little, 

    try to 
    understand 

    I put 
    my soul 
    in this 
    life 
    we've 

    created 
    with 
    these 
    four 
    hands 

    Love, 
    I leave, 
    but only 
    little, 

    this 
    world holds 
    me 
    still 

    My 
    body 
    may die 
    now, 

    but 
    these 
    painting
    s are real" 

    La li 
    lai 
    la li lai 
    la 
    li lai 

    Verse 9


    So many 
    seasons came 

    and many seasons 
    went 

    And many 
    times 
    she saw 
    her love's 

    face 
    watering 
    the flowers, 

    Talking 
    to the trees 

    and singing 
    to his 
    children, 

    And 
    when 
    the wind blew, 

    she 
    knew 
    he was listening, 

    And 
    how he seemed to laugh 
    along, and 

    how 
    he seemed 
    to hold 
    her 

    When she 
    was crying 

    'Cause 
    they were painters 
    and 
    they had 
    painted themselves 

    Verse 10

    lovely 
    world 

    Verse 11

    Eighty 
    years, 
    an old lady 
    now, 

    sitting 
    on the front porch 

    Watching the clouds 
    roll by 

    They 
    remind her 
    of her lover, 
    how he left 
    her, 

    and 
    of times long 
    ago, 

    When she used 
    color carelessly, 

    painted 
    his portrait 

    A thousand 
    times, 
    or maybe 
    just 
    his smile, 


    Her and her canvas 
    would 
    follow him 

    wherever he would 
    go 

    Yes, 
    she and 
    her canvas 
    still 
    follow 

    'Cause 
    they are painters 
    and 
    they are 
    painting themselves 

    lovely 
    Verse 12


    'Cause they 
    are 
    paint
    ers and 

    they are 
    painting themselves 

    A lovely 
    world

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
