Lyrics

(The colors of my life) The colors of my life (Are softer than a breeze) Are bountiful and bold The purple glow of indigo (The silver gray of eiderdown) The gleam of cream and gold (The dappled green of trees) The splendor of a sunrise (The amber of a wheatfield) The dazzle of a flame (The hazel of a seed) The glory of a rainbow (The crystal of a raindrop) I put 'em all to shame (Are all I'll ever need) No quiet browns and grays (Your reds are much too bold) I'll take my days instead (In gold I find no worth) And fill them till they overflow (I'll fill my days with sage and brown) With rose and cherry red (The colors of the earth) And if, from by my side, my love should roam The colors of my life Will shine a quiet light To lead him home
