He Used To Paint In Colors Lyrics

He used to paint in colors

Especially fond of blue

He used to paint in colors

And his colors they were true

He used to paint in colors

And his colors they were bold

He used to paint in colors

Silver, pink and gold

Now his hands are old and tired

And his eyes are tired too

The red's confused with orange

And the green is wrong with blue

He used to paint in colors

'Cause colors they were true

He used to paint in colors

He used to paint the whole night through

They said his work is childlike

I'd take that as a compliment

He stroked the canvas boldly

Like an angel heaven sent

Now his mind is gone

And his portraits cold and stark

His days are long

And the colors have since gone

He used to paint in colors

He used to paint in colors

He used to paint in colors
