The Colors Of My Life - Cy Coleman

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
