True Colors
Phil Collins · Love Songs: A Compilation...Old and New
I see your true colors, thats why I love you
So dont be afraid, to let them show (Just show your...)
true colors, true colors, beautiful...
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Though I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world, full of people
You can lose sight of it
And the darkness, inside you makes you feel so small
And I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
Beautiful, ooh like a rainbow
Show me your smile (show me your smile) and
Don't be unhappy, can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up, because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors, shining through (shine)
I see your true colors, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show (Just show your)
True colors, true colors
Are beautiful, ooh like a rainbow
Such sad eyes
Take courage now, realize
When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up, Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show (Just show your)
True colors, true colors, true colors are shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show
Your True colors, true colors, true colors
Are beautiful, So beautiful, like a rainbow
(Harmony)
show me your true colors, shining through
show me your true colors, shining through
show me your true colors, shining through
true colors...
