The Colour Of Love
62
With this love that we share
and the knowing it's true,
our dreams and desires
asks you to colour our love blue.
And as I love you my sweetheart
with tender words I will say,
and ask if you'll except them
so you may colour our love grey.
When we experience playful encounters
and have time to think,
I'll hold you close by me
as you colour our love pink.
With the days we hold dearly
when our love is so bright,
then our memories and thoughts
remind you to colour our love white.
If my love seems a bit distant
with words I have said,
then my heart tells me sweetheart
to colour our love red.
And I know that at times
we will become quiet and mellow,
if this is the case dear
then colour our love yellow.
in our sentiments and best wishes
and constant affection to dream,
I will hand you the pen
to colour our love green.
And if I hurt you or wrong you
when there's no turning back,
then I ask you dear sweetheart
to colour our love black.
inspired by Barbara Striesand's song my colouring book.
