That old master painter from the faraway hills painted the violets and the daffodills

He put the purple in the twilight haze, then did a rainbow for the rainy days

Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies, painted the devil in my darlin's eyes

Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills

The old master painter from the faraway hills

Then came his masterpiece and when he was through

He smiled down from heaven and he gave me you

What a beautiful job on that wonderful day

That old master painter from the hills far away

(repeat) Dreamed up etc.
