He's a lovely man with a whistle on his lips
a painter and he loves to paint red tulips
a good guy and a friend to everyone he meets

and when he buys new paint in the little store
you see him smile when he walks out the door. uhhhh


chorus: he said play me a picture
i said paint me a song
for many years we've come together each day

i sing about flowers and he paints for hours
and when i go i say... see you monday


we sat down on his balcony
watched the people from above and drank a cup of tea
i said, lets turn the tables for just one day

he gave me his brushes and i gave him my guitar
we smiled and he started to play. uhhhh


chorus: he said play me a picture
i said paint me a song
for many years we've come together each day

i sing about flowers and he paints for hours
and when i go i say... see you monday


one day a man came and said
i pay millions for your art. he said
thanks i'm as rich as i can be. 'cause i've all the things you can't buy

with money

chorus: he said play me a picture

i said paint me a song
for many years we've come together each day
i sing about flowers and he paints for hours

and when i go i say... see you monday
