Colored Dark - HOLM

(Written by D. Knutsen and D. Owens) Today I got a long letter From one who still cares for me She asked lots of questions Like would I call her sometime And was I gettin' back on my feet She asked if I had quit drinkin' Like I promised her long ago The words wouldn't come When I called and she answered Oh, but I found a way to say no Chorus: I sent her some wine colored roses The color of grapes on the vine When she sees the wine colored roses They'll tell her I'm still on the wine Instrumental The roses will say I still love her And their color will cause her to cry One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry And twelve pretty flowers don't lie Chorus: I sent her some wine colored roses The color of grapes on the vine When she sees the wine colored roses They'll tell her I'm still on the wine I sent her some wine colored roses...

Sunrise got us up early So we put on our shade Somehow the bedsheets are dirty Like sticky sweet lemonade Never wanna leave this room Daydream, déjà vu If I had control over you We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland With our head above the clouds, fallin' stupid like we're kids Wearin' rose colored lenses, let's just play pretend Wearin' rose colored lenses, pretend we'll never end Naked in conversation Drown me in your delight Endless summer vacation Make it last 'til we die My baby got looks that kill (kill) Make a mess of a nice hotel ('tel) If I had control over you We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland With our head above the clouds, fallin' stupid like we're kids Wearin' rose colored lenses, let's just play pretend Wearin' rose colored lenses, pretend we'll never end Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland With our head above the clouds, fallin' stupid like we're kids Wearin' rose colored lenses, let's just play pretend Wearin' rose colored lenses, pretend we'll never end Let's stay like this forever (let's just keep pretending) Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever (let's just keep pretending) Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever, uh-uh Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever Let's stay like this forever

I was walking along, minding my business, When out of the orange colored sky, Flash, bam, alacazam, Wonderful you came by. I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine, When out of that orange colored view Wham, bam, alacazam, I got a look at you. One look and I yelled timber Watch out for flying glass. Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out I went into a spin and I started to shout I've been hit, This is it, this is it, this is it. I was walking along minding my business When love came and hit me in the eye Flash, bam, alacazam, Out of the orange colored sky Well, one look and I yelled timber Watch out for flying glass. Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out I went into a spin and I started to shout I've been hit, This is it, this is it, this is it. I was walking along minding my business When love came and hit me in the eye Flash, bam, alacazam, Out of the orange colored, purple stripes, Pretty green polka-dot sky Flash, bam, alacazam, Went the sky
