Before The Colors Fade Lyrics - Sing The Delta - Iris Dement

Before the colors fade from view 

I sit alone remembering you 

And all those things you'd say and do 

And the feel of being next to you 

The angles of your sweet, old face 

The voice that filled my life with grace 

I walk as through a sacred place 

Before the colors fade 

Everybody comes and then they go 

Everybody fades and glows 

Everybody falls and climbs 

Some people go before their time 

But no one sparkled quite like you 

I'm gonna miss you through and through 

I'll visit every shade and hue 

Before the colors fade 

Tonight I'll read you like a book 

Every twist and turn you took 

Every song and every look 

All you gave, all you took 

In time you might seem like a dream 

But until then and in between 

I'll linger on each sacred scene 

Before the colors fade 

repeat chorus
