Ooh If I had to paint a picture To show the world how love can really be I would use the brightest colours To create a vision of harmony 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
Chorus: Tell me What is the colour of love What do you see Is it warm, is it tender When you think of me I see the colour of love When thinking of you As a picture perfect painting Of love, forever true
The colours of the rainbow turn gray Whenever you're so far away It changes like the seasons You're the reason it happens that way 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
Chorus
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, ooh
Chorus
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 As a picture perfect painting Of love, forever true
