The Colors of My Life (Part 2) lyrics
by Cy Coleman
[Charity] (spoken)
It's your own fault Charity Barnum. If you had only asked a few logical questions before you married him, you would have put a healthy distance between yourself and a fella who wants to give the whole world a paint job. Which I'm not so sure it needs
[Charity] (sung)
The colors of my life, are softer than a breeze
The silver gray of eiderdown, the dappled green of trees
The amber of a wheat field, the hazel of a seed
The 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 sage and 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 him home
