The sky was perfect blue
Me and you with a new beginning
One and one made two
All we knew was that we had each other
Like gentle lavender on my face
What a gorgeous feeling
You'd take me up so high
Felt so free with no walls or ceilings

For every way my emotions have gone
There's a shade that goes along
Your painting of me like a canvas is
Your portrait my song

With so many changes
Don't know how I became this
There's a different shade for all that we've been through
These are my colors for you
I'm tryin to think back to what I was before you
But for every turn a different hue
These are my colours for you

So the seasons go
Rightly so we prepare for changes
A certain change in tint
There were hints while the bright was faded
Appear a perfect sky shadowed by the remainings of pain
Once so beautiful and perfect blue
Now it's all in gray

For every way my emotions have gone
There's a shade that goes along
Your painting of me like a canvas is
Your portrait my song

With so many changes
Don't know how I became this
There's a different shade for all that we've been through
These are my colors for you
I'm tryin to think back to what I was before you
But for every turn a different hue
These are my colours for you

A mixture of these colours
Product of your encounter
Everything you poured in me is now manifesting
The lavenders, the blues
The grays and yellows too
Have all gone into what you see standing here before you

With so many changes
Don't know how I became this
There's a different shade for all that we've been through
These are my colors for you
I'm tryin to think back to what I was before you
But for every turn a different hue
These are my colours for you

With so many changes
Don't know how I became this
There's a different shade for all that we've been through
These are my colors for you
I'm tryin to think back to what I was before you
But for every turn a different hue
These are my colours for you

These are my colours for you .
