Painting
Every day is a brand new canvas
Different textures, different hues
Let's see where the day shall take us
And what colours shall I use?
The sun is out and it is shining
Yellows, golds, we'll use today
A vibrant start to this great morning
Gonna be a super day
Colours fade when you're not with me
Even for a little while
Blacks and greys bring shadows out
When you're not here to show your smile
There's so many vibrant colours
That explode from in my heart
But they're gone when you're not with me
The colour's gone when we're apart
Greens and blues bring life to pictures
New growth, lively, breaths of life
The image shows it's strength internal
As it forms beneath the artist's knife
The painting lives beyond the canvass
Burnt impressions in your mind
This is what the artist lives for
This is what he had designed
Colours fade when you're not with me
Even for a little while
Blacks and greys bring shadows out
When you're not here to show your smile
There's so many vibrant colours
That explode from in my heart
But they're gone when you're not with me
The colour's gone when we're apart
Reds bring out the inner anger
Sending flames across the page
There's no way to hide emotions
When the artist is filled with rage
Just temper down the reds with orange
Browns and golds, and leaves that fall
Now you look at scenes of nature
And once again the artist calls
For just with a splash of colour,
Each day takes shape in different lines
But with you, each day's a rainbow
And each day has new designs
But...
Colours fade when you're not with me
Even for a little while
Blacks and greys bring shadows out
When you're not here to show your smile
There's so many vibrant colours
That explode from in my heart
But they're gone when you're not with me
The colour's gone when we're apart
Now the day has come and gone
The evening dusk invades the view
But, dusky colours from life's palette
Make stars shine, when I'm with you.
