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 and 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 eiderdown
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 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 her home
