Story Behind The Song
A trip to New England, the colors were amazing, and it made me feel the timelessness of love across however many miles there may be, and how sometimes sad, but also healing the colors and love can be.

Lyrics
AS THE COLORS FADE
copyright 2004 by Steve Mason
(VERSE 1)
The crayon colored hills of the season,
I?ve seen reflected in your eyes
American towns beneath the watercolor mounds
Take me back me to the sweetest times?
As the colors fade, they fade
This land paints pictures in my mind,
Late summer breeze or early snow
Strange as it may sound, everything here can be found?
To fuel the feelings in our hearts and souls
(CHORUS)
As the colors fade
And the skies go dim
I?d travel the seven seas over
To see your smile again
As the colors fade, they fade
(VERSE 2)
With some hope and imagination, we?d linger here for awhile
And life is always found in every tree and every town
Thinking back I have to smile
(CHORUS)
As the colors fade
And the skies go dim
I?d travel the universe over
to hold you once again
As the colors fade
(BRIDGE)
As the colors fade, they fade?
I?ll fade into you
Fade? Fade
Across the ocean deep and blue
(VERSE 3)
The crayon colored hills of the season,
I?ve seen reflected in your eyes
American towns beneath these early autumn sounds
Heal me with your beauty? As the colors fade? they fade.
