Colours




               I looked up to the sky,            Colours..... (colours).....
                 then at the world                 Mixing in my mind.....
               I saw it painted yellow            Colours..... (colours).....
              The sun shone brightly,              Helping life unwind....
              as the clouds sped past             Colours..... (colours).....
             My mind began to mellow             Painting all my dreams....
              I could feel warm heat,             Colours..... (colours).....
                shining on my brow              Shaping all life's themes.....
              And my mind felt fuller,
                than it did just now               Painting rainbows.....
            Then I smiled and felt good,         In my colourful new world
                  'cause I'm alive             Painting rainbows in my mind
              I'm such a lucky fellow              Painting rainbows.....
                                                 In my colourful new world
               Painting rainbows.....          Painting rainbows in my mind
             In my colourful new world
           Painting rainbows in my mind           I looked at the ground,
               Painting rainbows.....               underneath my feet
             In my colourful new world           And I saw it painted green
           Painting rainbows in my mind           The grass was moving,
                                                    in the gentle breeze
              I looked at the stream,          Then my mind saw the unseen
                 as it flowed on by                The flow of your hair,
             And I saw it painted blue            as you tossed your head
              The cool tones rippled,              The feel of your body,
               like the morning dew                   laid on our bed
             Then in my mind I saw you           Then the wind blew hard,
               You looked so pretty,            and the grass moved more
              as you stood and smiled             I felt sad it was a dream
               And I hoped real hard,
              that you'd stay a while              Painting rainbows.....
             Then the water flowed on,           In my colourful new world
                and you were gone              Painting rainbows in my mind
             I was alone with the view             Painting rainbows.....
                                                 In my colourful new world
                                               Painting rainbows in my mind
