Colorful

The show is over, close the storybook

There will be no encore

And all the random hands that I have shook

Well, they're reaching for the door

I watch the backs as they leave single-file

You stood stubborn, cheering all the while



I know I can be colorful

I know I can be grey

I know this loser's living fortunate

'Cause I know you will love me either way



Most were being good for goodness sake

But you wouldn't pantomime

You are more beautiful when you awake

Than most are in a lifetime

Through the haze that is my memory, you

Stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy



I know I can be colorful

I know I can be grey

I know this loser's living fortunate

'Cause I know you will love me either way



Look ahead as far as you can see

We live in drama but we'll die in a comedy



I know I can be colorful (when you live in black and white)

I know I can be grey (my colors fade away)

I know this loser's living fortunate

'Cause I know you will love me either way



I know I can be colorful (when you live in black and white)

I know I can be grey (my colors fade away)

I know this loser's living fortunate

And I know you will love me

Yes, I know you will love me

I know you will love me either way
