Lyrics
Play Color Me
I met her up in Nashville while working for her brother
Who took me in when I was down on my luck
Why he did I never knew
I guess what they say is true
There are still a few good people in this world.
On Friday afternoons when Jenny came around
I would pull out my old guitar to pass some time
Her brother played the harp
He said, ?I?ll do my best.?
?Now, Jenny could I please have your request??
She said, "Play color me"
I said, ?Do you mean color my world?"
She said, "Yes, that?s the one I like the most"
And then we would settle in and play it time and time again
Just to see the smile that set her face aglow
She said, "Play color me
That?s the one I?d like to hear
It takes me back to when I was in love
When life wasn?t so routine
And I still had a dream back through the years when I was eighteen"
My feelings for Jenny grew stronger
I couldn?t hide them any longer
So, I packed up late one night and moved away
You see the good ones are always taken
And though my heart still achin?
There are three words I would love to hear her say,
"Play color me"
I said "Do you mean color my world?"
She said, "Yes, that?s the one I like the most"
And then we would settle in and play it time and time again
Just to see the smile that set her face aglow
She said, "Play color me
That?s the one I?d like to hear
It takes me back to when I was in love
When life wasn?t so routine
And I still had a dream back through the years when I was eighteen"
She said, "Play color me"
