[Verse 1] If I had to paint a picture To show the world how true love can really be I would use the brightest colours To create a vision of harmony [Verse 2] It would be a reality ’Cause it’s only what’s inside of my heart You would see I’ve always loved you Right from the very start [Refrain 1] Tell me what is the colour of love? What do you see? Is it warm is it tender When you think of me I’ll see the colour of love When I’m thinking of you As a picture perfect painting Of a love forever true [Instrumental 1] [Verse 3] The colours of the rainbow turn grey whenever you’re so far away It changes like the seasons You’re the reason it happens that way [Verse 4] What you see are colours of emotion Reflecting what I feel deep inside Now I’d like to take a look At emotions that you hide [Refrain 2] Tell me what is the colour of love? What do you see? Is it warm is it tender When you think of me I’ll see the colour of love When I’m thinking of you As a picture perfect painting Of a love forever true [Interlude] And oh though many may try To keep us apart Oh the colours that I see in you Will shine a light to see us through No matter what the world will do I’ll always love you [Instrumental 2] [Refrain 3] Oh what is the colour of love? What do you see? Is it warm is it tender When you think of me I’ll see the colour of love When I’m thinking of you As a picture perfect painting Of love forever true [Outro] What is the colour of love Oh tell me tell me Oh I wanna know I wanna know I see the colour of love When I’m thinking of you...
