The Colour Of My Love Lyrics
Artist: Celine Dion
Album: The Colour Of My Love

I’ll paint my mood in shades of blue
Paint my soul to be with you
I’ll sketch your lips in shaded tones
Draw your mouth to my own

I’ll draw your arms around my waist
Then all doubt I shall erase
I’ll paint the rain that softly lands on your wind blown hair

I’ll trace a hand to wipe your tears
A look to calm your fears
A silhouette of dark and light
While we hold each other oh so tight

I’ll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we’ll never part
That’s the colour of my love

I’ll paint the truth
Show how I feel
Try to make you completely real
I’ll use a brush so light and fine
To draw you close and make you mine

I’ll paint the truth
Show how I feel
Try to make you completely real
I’ll use a brush so light and fine
To draw you close and make you mine

I’ll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we’ll never part
That’s the colour of my love

I’ll draw the years all passing by
So much to learn so much to try

And with this ring our lives will start
Swearing that we’ll never part
I offer what you cannot buy
Devoted love until we die

So I was despondently belting this out in the shower just now (it’s 2:12 am as I type this). At times like this, I can imagine how my lilt would intonate and personalize the music if I were sitting at the velvet-lined bench of my shiny black baby grand (at my parents’ house). Sometimes I feel as if a force or feeling or some multi-dimensional something is bursting within me, and no poetry I could write, song I could sing, picture I can paint could express it justly. Maybe an animated 3-D image set to specific music with the temperature just so and the colors just so and a scent ever so light as to convey a certain feel and induce a specific line of thought could simulate or express what it is that hangs around and within me. This must be a challenge that the creators of Disney’s “Fantasia” films had.
