[Verse 1]
In our bedroom, there's a portrait
Done in different shades of gray
That I penciled out before you broke my heart
In the sketch, we're arm in arm
But in the background, there's a storm
That was soon to come and tear my world apart

[Verse 2]
And before my days are over
I'm gonna try my hand again
And do a portrait like I wanted life to be
Put some flowers on the ground
And color springtime all around
And paint a bed of roses just for me

[Chorus]
I'm gonna paint me a bed of roses
One without one single cloud in my big blue sky
Yeah, I'm gonna paint me a bed of roses
Where love and passion never die
