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
