Color Song (i Lost My Love) Lyrics - Hank Snow

(Life lost its color when I lost my love) 

White's for the wedding that I'll never see 

Blue is for heartaches that she gave to me 

Green were those two eyes that stole her away 

Gray were the darks skies on that tragic day 

Black was the gun that I drew from my side 

Red fload the blood where's my false lover's died 

Brown was the earth neath the grey skies above 

Life lost its color when I lost my love 

[ piano - guitar ] 

Black was the cloak on the old judge that day 

White was my face when he said you must pay 

Blue were the tears that I shed in myself 

Red are the roses that other folks dwell 

Gold was my hair when they first sentenced me 

It will be silver when they set me free 

Gone is the rainbow that shone up above 

Life lost its color when I lost my love 

Life lost its color when I lost my love
