i wish i could write the
words
that will open up your heart
something you can hold forever
like a key that has no lock
something worth all the living
that we're forced to do
i want to write the words to say our time is true
if i could, you know i would
paint the sky blue
i
wish i could sing a song
with a voice i don't possess
something that would fill your eyes
so that you don't forget
something worth all the giving
that i took from you
i want to sing the words to say our time is true
if i could, you know i would
paint the sky blue
even
as the sun goes down
upon the sailing ship
you touch the water with your hand
and my whole world is lit
if there ever was a place for me
it was there because of you
if i could, you know i would
paint the sky blue
i
want to build a home
to keep you safe and dry
something warm with solitude
where the sun can shine
something that would make you proud
when it comes into view
i want to give you everything that ever had any value
if i could, you know i would
paint the sky blue
i
wish that i could hold your hand
and make you feel secure
take you to another land
where everything is pure
someplace where harmony
is all we're living for
i want to give you a life in love with all that we do
if i could, you know i would
if i could, you know i would
i wish i could, and then i would
paint the sky blue
paint the sky blue
