Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yellow is the color of my true love's hair
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
[Verse 2]
Blue's the color of the sky
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
[Verse 3]
Green's the color of the sparklin' corn
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
[Verse 4]
Mellow is the feeling that I get
When I see her, mhmm
When I see her, uh-huh
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
[Verse 5]
Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinking, mhmm
Without thinking, mhmm
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved
