Lyrics
Take the colors from the morning spring,
Soft summer shades of green....and
Paint me some other color, besides this shade of blue
Take the colors from the bright rainbow,
I don't care what you have to do....just
Paint me some other color, besides this shade of blue
I can't recall all these colors that I've been
I try to paint myself now and then
But through my tears the colors blend
Take the colors from the autumn hills,
Dip your brush in the daffodils....and
Paint me some other color, besides this shade of blue
Take the colors from the winter snow,
I don't care what you have to do....just
Paint me some other color, besides this shade of blue
I can't recall all these colors that I've been
I try to paint myself now and then
But through my tears the colors blend
Take the colors from the bright rainbow,
I don't care what you have to do....just
Paint me some other color, besides this shade of blue
Yeah, paint me some other color, besides this shade of blue
