 Tammy Wynette (with Emmy Lou Harris)

 There never was a little girl more wanted than me
 I had all the love a child could ever want or need
 Daddy gave me everything he could afford to buy
 An' on the ceilin' in my room, he painted me a sky 
 
 He told me not to be afraid, when it stormed outside
 He said, 'In your room, sweetheart the sun will always shine'.
 An' through the years of growin' up, if somethin' made me cry
 It didn't seem to hurt so bad, beneath the painted sky
 
 Chorus:
 Beneath the painted sky, that's where I want to be
 A place to go when this old world gets the best of me
 A place where dreams come true
 And no one ever says 'goodbye'
 Oh, I wish that I could live again, beneath the painted sky
 
 Girls grow up and fall in love and that's how it is
 Sometimes the men don't love 'em like their daddy's did
 Sometimes the hurt's so bad, the way it is tonight
 It makes me wanna be back home, beneath the painted sky
 
 Beneath the painted sky, that's where I want to be
 A place to go when this old world gets the best of me
 A place where dreams come true
 And no one ever says 'goodbye'
 Oh, I wish that I could live again, beneath the painted sky
 
 Oh, I wish I was a kid again, beneath the painted sky.
