Paint the Grass Green Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know what's been goin' on inside that head of yours
But lately, you've been lookin' out that window more
That gypsy soul inside of you is what I fell in love with
I wonder if it's comin' back to haunt me
And I'm so afraid that...

[Chorus]
Maybe there's a star somewhere in another sky
Those California colors are easy on the eyes
If you think the world looks better on that side of the fence
I'll paint the grass green like a technicolor dream
If our love has faded, babe, I'll brighten up the scene
I'll paint the grass green


[Verse 2]
They say that if you love someone, don't hold 'em back
But I can't quite convince myself I'm cool with that
I'll change the way I kiss you or the way I take my coffee
However big or small, I'll fight for it all

[Chorus]
Maybe there's a star somewhere in another sky
Those California colors are easy on the eyes
I'll get down on my knees if you're still up on the fence
I'll paint the grass green like a technicolor dream
If our love has faded, babe, I'll brighten up the scene
I'll paint the grass green
[Bridge]
I'll make the roses red
Give you a gold sunset
Tell me it's not over yet

[Chorus]
Oh, maybe there's a star somewhere in another sky
Those California colors are easy on the eyes
I'll get down on my knees if you're still up on the fence
I'll paint the grass green like a technicolor dream
If our love has faded, babe, I'll brighten up the scene
I'll paint the grass green

[Outro]
If that's what you need
I'll paint the grass green

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
