He Used To Paint In Colors Lyrics

He Used To Paint In Colors lyrics

He used to paint in colors

Especially fond of blue

He used to paint
in colors

And his colors they were true

He used to paint in
colors

And his colors they were bold

He used to paint in colors

Silver, pink and gold



Now his hands are old and tired

And
his eyes are tired too

The red's confused with orange

And the green
is wrong with blue



He used to paint in colors

'Cause colors
they were true

He used to paint in colors

He used to paint the
whole night through



They said his work is childlike

I'd take
that as a compliment

He stroked the canvas boldly 

Like an angel
heaven sent



Now his mind is gone

And his portraits cold and
stark

His days are long

And the colors have since gone



He used to paint in colors

He used to paint in colors

He used to
paint in colors
