Ooh, ooh, 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
Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm, is it tender
When you think of me
I'll see the colour of love
When I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting
Of love forever true
The colours of the rainbow turn grey
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
Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm, is it tender
When you think of me
I'll see the colour of love
When I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting
Of love forever true
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
Oh, what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm, is it tender
When you think of me
I'll see the colour of love
When I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting
Of love forever true
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
If I had to paint a picture
To show the world how love can really be
