The Colour Of My Love

I thought i knew you
Thought that i knew you well
We had a rhythm
But i guess you never can tell

Oh i learned early
Never to ignore the signs
You'll be forgiven
It ain't worth that much to my mind

Lovin' you (was) so easy
It's hard to say goodbye
But if it's the way it goes it goes

(chorus)
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled

Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5
It takes conviction it takes a will to survive
I'm not somebody who commits the crime
And leaves the scene
But when i've been dissed
I don't spend much time on what might've been
I'm not about self-pity
Your love did me wrong
So i'm movin', movein' on

(chorus)
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled

Don't think i can't feel there's something wrong
You've been the sweetest part of my life so long
I look in your eyes, there's a distant light
And you and i know there'll be a storm tonight
This is getting serious
Are you thinking 'bout you or us

(chorus)
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby think twice

Baby think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory
For the fire and the faith that was you and me
Baby i know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for a higher ground
'coz when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down
But baby this is serious
Are you thinking 'bout you or us

(repeat first chorus)

(breakdown)
Baby this is serious
Are you thinking 'bout you or us

Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice

Don't do what you're about to do
My everything depends on you
And whatever it takes, i'll sacrifice
Before you roll those dice
Baby think twice

If you ever leave me
Life will go on
Stars will still be
Bright as diamonds in the sky now
Even if you said goodbye now
Oh, the clock wouldn't stop, no
That sun would keep shinning down
If you weren't here with me
This world would still be spinnin' 'round
But baby there would be

Just no living without loving you
How could i ever survive
Just no living without loving you
It would be like living without being alive without you

If you ever walk out this door
What would i have left to live for
What would there be left to do now
What would i be without you now
Oh, the clock wouldn't stop, no
Each day would go on just the same
There would still be air to breath
It wouldn't stop the sun and rain
But baby there would be

Just no living without loving you
How could i ever survive
Just no living without loving you
It would be like living without being alive without you

That sun would still keep shinning down
If you weren't here with me
That world would still be spinnin' 'round
But you know i would have nothing
Won't have no life if i don't have your loving
If i don't have you with me

Just no living without loving you
How could i ever survive
Just no living without loving you
It would be like living without being alive without you

I listen to the sound of the rain fallin' down my window
Prayin' for a gentle wind
To bring my baby back again
Tryin' to be strong but i'm not getting any stronger
Loneliness is tearing apart this heart of mine
I lay awake 'coz i can't take another night lonely
It's been too long, i can't hold on no more

Leavin' on the next plane out
'coz i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby

Talking on the phone but that don't make it any better
Nothing's gonna ease this pain
Until i'm in his arms again
Runnin' down the stairs there's a taxi that's waiting for me
Loneliness i'm gonna leave you far behind
I'd walk for days through pouring rain
Anything to be with him
It's been so long, i can't be strong no more

Leavin' on the next plane out
'coz i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again

Gotta be with him
Gotta be by his side
Gotta be with him
My heart's made up my mind

Leavin' on the next plane out
'coz i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
'coz i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again

Gotta be with my baby, gonna be with my baby
Gonna take the next plane or the next train
Gotta get there gotta see my baby
And nothing's gonna stop me from leavin' this time
Leavin' on the next plane out, , ,

I'm looking back through the years
Down this highway
Memories, they all lead up to this one day
And many dreams lost along the way
Haunt me still
I guess they always will

When love was too much to bear
I just left it there
But here i stand face to face
With this heart of mine

Livin' without you i only fall behind
We had a love most people never find
All this time i never realized
And the courage i finally found
Has made me turn around

(chorus)
There is only one road i'm walkin'
Only one lifetime one heart to guide me
Only one road i'm walkin'
But i'm gonna run back, i'm gonna run back
'cause i need you right here
Beside me

I can still hear the song of your laughter
I can still taste the sorrow of your tears
We said goodbye but our hearts did not hear
Now my love there's nothing left to fear
With all my heart put me through
It leads me back to you

(chorus)

(chorus)

But i'm gonna run back, i'm gonna run back
'cause i need you right here
Beside me

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 out 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 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

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance

Don't ask me if this feeling's right or wrong
It doesn't have to make much sense
It just has to be this strong
'cause when you're in my arms i understand
We don't try to have a voice
When our hearts make the choices
There's no plan
It's in our hands

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance

Now i can feel what you're afraid to say
If you give your soul to me
Will you give too much away
We can't let this moment pass us by
Can't question this chance
Or expect any answers
We can try
But love doesn't ask you why

(instrumental)

So let's take what we found
And wrap it around us

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance

Love doesn't ask why
