lyrics

Out on the sidewalk, the world was in a rush
You came outside just to make 'em all blush
Like you do
That's when the river turned blue
I passed you by and you told me your name
It lingered with me like a slow moving train
In my dreams
That's when the willow turned green

Now this whole world is a canvas
You've given me a brush, you're teaching me to paint
Red bricks and yellow bananas
Pink lily flowers after the April rain

You took a heart, numb as a stone
Gave it a blanket and built it a home
All filled with light
The sun came through the clouds and they turned white
You took a heart, running from sin
Living on sidewalks and you let it in
Out of the cold
For a moment, it almost turned gold

Now this whole world is a canvas
You've given me a brush, you're teaching me to paint
Red bricks and yellow bananas
Pink lily flowers after the April rain
