(i'm Gonna Paint Me A) Bed Of Roses Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 

It was soon to come and tear my world apart 

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 

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
