The Old Master Painter

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Peggy Lee & Mel Tormé] The old master painter from the faraway hills Painted the violets and the daffodils He put the purple in the twilight haze Then did a rainbow for the rainy days [Verse 2: Mel Tormé, Peggy Lee, both] Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies Painted the devil in my darling'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 [Bridge: The Mellomen] Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies Painted the devil in my darling's eyes Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills The old master painter from the faraway hills [Verse 3: Mel Tormé, Peggy Lee, both with The Mellomen] The old master painter from the faraway hills Painted the violets and the daffodils 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 darling's eyes Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills The old master painter from the faraway hills [Outro: Mel Tormé, both, both with The Mellomen] Then came his masterpiece and when he was through He smiled down from heaven and gave me you What a beautiful job on that wonderful day That old master painter from the hills far away Far away, far away
