Colour of Love
Richie Stephens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I had to paint a picture
To show the world how true love can really be
I would use the brightest colors
To create a vision of harmony
It would be a reality
Cause its only what's inside of my heart
Tell me what is the color of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you think of me
I see the color of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true
The colors of the rainbow turn grey whenever you're so far away
It changes like the seasons
You're the reason it happens that way
What you see are colors of emotion
Reflecting what I feel deep inside
Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide
Tell me what is the color of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you think of me
I see the color of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true
And oh though many may try to keep us apart
Oh the colors that I see in you will shine a light to see us through
No matter what the world will do I'll always love you
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh what is the color of love oh tell me tell me
Oh I want to know I want to know - when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect paining of love forever true
The Richie Stephens song "Colour of Love" is a beautiful tale of expressing one's feelings of love through color. The song acknowledges that colors can easily depict emotions and the intensity of one's love for another. The lyrics paint a picture of a love so true that if it were to be depicted through a painting, it would be a bright vision of harmony in the brightest colors.
The song goes further to state that the colors of the rainbow turn grey whenever the person one loves is far away. Even though the separation dims the colors, the emotions and feelings remain as bright as ever. It's a tale of pure affection, and even when many people try to keep the two lovers apart, the colors that shine through them will always see them through.
The song gets the message across that love brings out the brightest colors, and even if things may seem bleak, it will stay forever true. The question "what is the color of love?" may not have a specific answer, but as shown in the lyrics, it's warm and tender when two people are together.

If I had to paint a picture
If I was to create an image
To show the world how true love can really be
To give an example of what love genuinely looks like
I would use the brightest colors
I would use the most vivid shades
To create a vision of harmony
To craft an image of balance
It would be a reality
It would exist just as love exists
Cause its only what's inside of my heart
Because it comes from within my heart
You would see I've always loved you right from the very start
You would realize that I've been in love with you from the beginning
Tell me what is the color of love?
What represents love?
What do you see?
What image comes to mind?
Is it warm is it tender when you think of me
Is it gentle and cozy when you consider me
I see the color of love when I'm thinking of you
I see love depicted when I ponder about you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true
As love fixed in a flawless, permanent image
The colors of the rainbow turn grey whenever you're so far away
The vibrant hues dull when you're distant
It changes like the seasons
It fluctuates like the cycle of nature
You're the reason it happens that way
You're the cause behind the change
What you see are colors of emotion
The shades you notice reflects my emotions
Reflecting what I feel deep inside
Portraying my true emotions
Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide
Now I wish to understand your concealed emotions
And oh though many may try to keep us apart
And despite many obstacles that come between us
Oh the colors that I see in you will shine a light to see us through
The vivid shades of you will guide us through
No matter what the world will do I'll always love you
Irrespective of the world's actions, my love for you will remain
Oh what is the color of love oh tell me tell me
What represents love? Please inform me
Oh I want to know I want to know - when I'm thinking of you
I want to understand what love depicts when you come to mind
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true
As love pictured perfectly and permanently
