Lyrics The Colors Of My Life - Cy Coleman

The Colors Of My Life

The colors of my life, are bountiful and bold
The purple glow of indigo, the gleam of green and gold
The splendor of a sunrise, the dazzle of a flame
The glory of a rainbow, I put 'em all to shame
No quiet browns or grays, I’ll take my days instead
And fill them 'til they overflow, with rose and cherry red
And should this sunlit world, grow dark one day
The colors of my life will leave a shining light to show the way
The colors of my life, are softer than a breeze
The silver gray of the dappled green of trees
Amber of a wheat field, hazel of a seed
Crystal of a raindrop are all I’ll ever need
Your reds are much too bold, in gold I find no worth
I fill my days with brown, 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 her home
