Colorful

Show is over, close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Well, they're reaching for the door

I watch their backs as they leave single file
You stood stubborn, cheering all the while

I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
But I know this loser's living fortunate
'Cause I know you will love me either way

Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn't pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime

Through the haze that is my memory well
Stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
An' I know this loser's living fortunate
An' I know you will love me either way

Look ahead as far as you can see me
We'll live in drama but we'll die in a comedy

I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
But I know this loser's living fortunate
An' I know you will love me either way

I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
But I know this loser's living fortunate
An' I know you will love me yes I know you will love me
I know you will love me me either way
