Colorful

the show is over - close the storybook

 there will be no encore

 and all the random hands that i have shook

 well, they're reaching for the door

 i watch the backs as they leave single-file

 you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

 

i know i can be colorful

 i know i can be grey

 i know this loser's living fortunate

 cause i know you will love me either way

 

most were being good for goodness sake

 but you wouldn't pantomine

 you are more beautiful when you awake

 than most are in a lifetime

 through the haze that is my memory

 you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

 

i know i can be colorful

 i know i can be grey

 i know this loser's living fortunate

 cause i know you will love me either way

 

look ahead as far as you can see

 we live in drama but we'll die in a comedy

 

i know i can be colorful (when you live in black and white)

 i know i can be grey (my colors fade away)

 i know this loser's living fortunate

 cause i know you will love me either way

 

i know i can be colorful (when you live in black and white)

 i know i can be grey (my colors fade away)

 i know this loser's living fortunate

 and i know you will love me

 yes i know you will love me 

i know you will love me either way
