[Verse 1: Nathan Morris]
I was lonely
I needed someone to see me through
And I was at the end of my rope
I needed someone to cut me lose

[Pre-Chorus]
And then an angel, out of the blue
Gave me the sense that I might make it through
And somehow I survived, with no rhyme or reason
And now I know I'll make it
Through the miracle of you

[Chorus]
I know the color of love
And it lives inside of you
I know the color of truth
(It's in the image of you)
If it comes from the heart
Then you know that it's true
It will color your soul, like a rainbow
(Like a rainbow)
And the color of love is in you

Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
The colors of love

[Verse 2: Shawn Stockman]
Like a bridge
Over troubled, troubled water
You stood beside me, stood beside me
And your love, did not falter

[Pre-Chorus]
And then the angel, angel in you
Gave me the strength to know that I will get through
And that's how I survived
Ain't no other reason
And now I know I'll make it
Through the miracle of you

[Chorus]
I know the color of love
And it lives inside of you
I know the color of truth
(It's in the image of you)
If it comes from the heart
Then you know that it's true
It will color your soul, like a rainbow
(Like a rainbow)
And the color of love is in you

Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
The colors of love

[Bridge: Wanya Morris]
So girl I want to thank you
I can't thank you enough
For showing me the meaning
The meaning of true love
When I was lost and so in need, you opened up your heart
When I needed you to comfort me, you opened up your arms
I couldn't face another day
You said don't be afraid
You showed my heart the, showed me the way...

[Chorus]
I know the color of love
And it lives inside of you
I know the color of truth
(It's in the image of you)
If it comes from the heart
(Comes from the heart)
Then you know that it's true
It will color your soul, like a rainbow
(Like a rainbow)
And the color of love is in you

Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
Colors, the colors, the colors, the colors of...
The colors of love

Oh, the color of you...

Boyz II Men

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
