Story Behind The Song

Special people in your life grow away - make lasting memories with your people.

Song Description

This song is written from a parent's perspective while teaching and watching your child grow into an adult. Most children love to draw, color, paint, write with chalk- and most parents have spent time with their child guiding them on drawing pictures. While the child grows up, there will be many aspects of life both you and child will have managed to overcome and grown through. The parental bond that is formed, along with the memories gained is so very special. Along with all the heartaches that came along with each different situation. I have combined all the sentiment with learning, loving, and growing up into a heartfelt song-" Color me." Now the child has moved on, while the parent hopes they will recall all the close memories that were shared.

Lyrics

In all that you may wonder
In all that may be true
Pick me out your favorite
Pick me out the blue
Dream with all the wonders
That only you can see
Save yourself the best one
Then leave a space for me

Color me a river-
color me a sky
Color me a heartache
And know the reasons why
Take me to the great beyond's
You'll dream about tonight
Forever hold me close
Forever in your life

Let them tell the story
Happy endings from the start
Colored with emotions
A feeling from the heart
Given to the questions
As the answer to a prayer
Colored to perfection
No walls from it be bare

Color me a river-
color me a sky
Color me a heartache
And know the reasons why
Take me to the great beyond's
You'll dream about tonight
Forever hold me close
Forever in your life

Turning points in pictures
Let's begin again
Colors- add a flavor
Hold a temperature -within
Rings around a sunset
Warmer colors -mix a few
Never leaving you feel lonely
Know- I'm always there for you

Color me a river-
color me a sky
Color me a heartache
And know the reasons why
Take me to the great beyond's
You'll dream about tonight
Forever hold me close
Forever in your life
