The Colors of My Life Reprise by Cy Coleman Lyrics
[Charity]
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
The colors of my life will shine a quiet light to lead him home
[Barnum]
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 if from by my side my love should roam
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
The colors of my life will shine a quiet light to lead him home
[Barnum]
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 if from by my side my love should roam
