Colours Of  My Life

(This gemstone of song, written in collaboration with David Reilly, started her own songwriting.
It is still one of her best songs ever)

For the guitar players I have included the chords in the text

Intro: C / G7 / C / G7

C         Em        F         G            C         Em     F  G
I can’t seem to get my sleep now any old nights.
F                      Dm                G     G7
Mister Sandman passes by my door.
C          Em                 F                    G
Life has changed since you've been there
    C               Em    F  G
to say "It’s all right".
F                        Dm
You taught me to understand
        C            Em        Am
what I thought couldn’t be.
Em                        D7               G     G7
Don’t mind missing sleep if I can see.

C                   F    Am
Colours of my life
G                        C
you’ve got love to fill my heart.
                     Dm              F                      C G7
I don’t need a rainbow with colours of my life.

Colours blend with love to show I’m happy with you.
I can never be the same again.
Now my eyes are looking past
the life that I knew.
I’ll be shedding black and grey
to take on red and blue.
Colours I can feel like touching you.

bloom like flowers in my heart
Loving you has shown me colours of my life.

Colours of my life
blew like flowers in my heart
                      Dm          F                       C
Loving you has shown me colours of my life.......

For this song my thanks go again to my son Lars for working out the guitar chords for me.
