Colors of You


Red, as red as the roses in spring And as red as a volcanoes lava pouring over As red as blood twinkling from an open wound As red as a Robin flying by Red, as Res as our nation's flag hanging high. Orange, as orange as the fruit we love to eat And as orange as fire spreading through the leaves As orange as the autumn leaves falling off trees As orange as the color of someone's hair Orange, as orange as a Lantana we see everyday. Yellow, as yellow as sunflowers in summer And as yellow as lemons that are really sour As yellow as baby chicks learning to walk As yellow as bees spreading pollen around Yellow, as yellow as the sun shining on us now. Green, as green as an apple we can hold and eat And as green as money to buy us new things As green as frogs hopping along merrily As green as lizards who sun bathe Green, as green as our grass and trees keeping us alive. Blue, as blue as blue berries freshly picked And as blue as a butterfly with pretty eyes As blue as fish that swim in the sea As blue as the candy we get on Halloween Blue, as blue as the sky during beautiful days. Purple, as purple as your brand new car And as purple as the lights at Christmas time As purple as tulips and roses sitting in gardens As purple as your favorite stuffed bear Purple, as purple as the dress you wore when we met. Pink, as pink as the frosting on newly baked cookies And as pink as lemonade at picnics As pink as your makeup when going out As pink as the ice cream in my shop Pink, as pink as your lips at first glance. White, as white as a beautiful dove And as white as Mr. Tinkle our white cat As white as snow in the winter As white as the frosting on our cake White, as white as your lovely wedding dress. Black, as black as a bat flying through the night And as black as a cat wandering around As black as my motorcycle in the back yard As black as panthers caged up in the zoo Black, as black as the ring I proposed to you. You're as red as a rose As orange as the autumn leaves As yellow as the sun As green as the trees blowing through the breeze As blue as the sky and deep sea As purple as the violets growing in the garden As pink as as lemonade we drink in the summer time As white as your wedding dress And as black as the ring I proposed to you. I merely have one question: Will you spend your life with me?
