Verse 1
Hi –
I imagine when you were a kid
You owned lots of colouring books
Wow – is that your pick up line
I ask as
I think you
May hold all the colours
Of the sunset of my dreams
And I wonder
If you might be interested in
Being the one
To colour my world
So are you?
Am I what?
A kid at heart
And still love
Colouring books
Chorus
Wow --- and
His eyes are my colour
Verse 2
For so long
I have held close all my crayons
Waiting in my heart
To colour someone's world
Perhaps it's worth a second look
To wonder --- to hope
Is he my colouring book
Bridge
I think he already knows
I feel the rush
And I don't have to ask
As I can see
His favourite colour
Is my blush
Verse 3
Yes --- the kid in me
Still owns the crayons
Chorus
Wow --- and
His eyes are my colour
Outro
Sit and tell me
How did you know
I owned lots of colouring books
