Magic Colors Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My days are darker than my nights
My world is black, there are no lights
My eyes are blind, I cannot see
Where's the world you lit for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Painted things, from the past
Are faded things that couldn't last

[Chorus]
Where are all the magic colors
That used to light my way?
Where are all the magic colors
I must find those rainbows of yesterday

[Verse 2]
My grass was green, the sky was blue
When I shared the world with you
But now the colors turned to gray
My rainbow world escaped away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Shades of gray, shades of black
I'm so alone, I wanna go back
[Chorus]
Back to all the magic colors
That used to light my way
Where are all the magic colors
I must find those rainbows of yesterday

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Shades of gray, shades of black
I'm so alone, I wanna go back

[Chorus]
Back to all the magic colors
That used to light my way
Where are all the magic colors
I must find those rainbows of yesterday

[Chorus (Fade)]
Where are all the magic colors
That used to light my way?
Where are all the magic colors...
