Maybe I try too hard some times it's a magic life I live
Maybe I fly too high some times maybe I've too much to give
But for now my darling to the highway I must go_ _
To night I'll paint life's picture in my magic minstrel show _ _ _ _
Maybe some day I can re late to all the things that I hold dear
You know I can hardly wait come and whisper in my ear
And so my darling to m yself I shall be true_ _
_ Pai nting _ life's pic _ tures as _ all ma- _ gic mins _ trels do_ _ _ _
Maybe some day I can make you see when I've left no stone un turned _
An _ y day I may be set free _ when my less _ on has b _ een learned _
_ And s _o my d _arling t _o the h ighwa _ y I _ must g o _ _
To night I'll paint life's pictures in my magic minstrel show _ _

Going strong the whole night long _ yes I will _ yes _ I will _
