Painted Bunting (Country & Western Song)

1.
I saw a painted bunting
sitting in a pecan tree.
It made me think how beautiful
this rainbow world can be.

 

2.

 

My heart had gone a hunting
to find a cure for misery
when I saw that little rainbow bird
and its colours set me free.

 

Chorus:

 

Painted Bunting,
you are the most beautiful bird
and your beauty, about the joy of life,
paints a thousand words.

 

Painted Bunting,
when everything seemed to be grey
you gave my heart a lick of colour
that made it bright and gay.

 

3.

 

I heard a rainbow singing
and asked myself, "How can it be?"
then I saw it was a little bird
the lord had sent to me.

 

4.

 

I said thankyou lord for bringing
that piece of heaven here to me
and please do thank that rainbow bird
wherever he may be.

 

Chorus:

 

Painted Bunting,
you are the most beautiful bird
and your beauty, about the joy of life,
paints a thousand words.

 

Painted Bunting,
when everything seemed to be grey
you gave my heart a lick of colour
that made it bright and gay.
