lyrics

Colour my day

In my life shades of grey, mimic a sunny day
Every clouds just a cloud and there's no blue sky
And the blues that I sing seem to paint everything
With no colour at all and I don't know why

As the world that I see, that I know is true
Can you colour my day, can you paint me with crayons
Can you fill me with joy like you used to do

Colour my day, colour my day and watch me shine
Colour my day, this is the way to fix our time
Colour my day, Don't let me fade and die away
Colour my day, light up my life and watch me play

I don't want to be grey, let my life drift away
In the shadow of what I once used to be
I have colours to share that I'll paint everywhere
And I'll share them with you if you mix with me

Colour my day, colour my day and watch me shine
Colour my day, this is the way to fix our time
Colour my day, Don't let me fade and die away
Colour my day, light up my life and watch me play

In my life shades of grey, mimicking sunny day
Every clouds just a cloud and the there's no blue sky
And the blues that I sing seem to paint everything
With no colour at all and I don't know why

Just remember if you colour my day
It will stop you from feeling dull
