Black Is The Color Lyrics

Rhiannon Giddens Black Is The Color

[Chorus]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His lips are like some rosy fair
The sweetest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground where on he stands

[Verse 1]
Soft is the feel of my true love's skin
And strong the arms he folds me in
The clearest eyes and the truest heart
He lets me stop before I start

[Bridge]
I love my love, and well he knows
I love his love and love it grows
Until I know that I would burst
And still I feel the strongest thirst
I love my love and he loves me
To my soul, he owns the key
I have his heart and he has mine
I'll kiss his mouth ten thousand times

[Chorus]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His lips are like some rosy fair
The sweetest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground where on he stands

[Bridge]
I love my love, and well he knows
I love his love and love it grows
Until I know that I would burst
And still I feel the strongest thirst
I love my love and he loves me
To my soul, he owns the key
I have his heart and he has mine
I'll kiss his mouth ten thousand times

[Outro]
Black is the color, black is the color
Black is the color of my true love's hair
