Used to seeing black and white
Never really in between
Waiting on the love of my life
To come into my dreams
Everything is shades of gray
Never really blues or green
Needed someone else to turn to
Someone who could help me learn to see
All the beauty that was waiting for me
[chorus]
You, you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
A silver lining in my prayers
And now there’s colour everywhere
You put the red back in the rules
Just when I needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there’s colour everywhere
Everywhere
My life is so predictable
Never any mystery
But ever since you shined the light
All of that was history
Now I have a hand to hold
And a reason to believe
There’s someone in my life worth living for
I was hanging around just wishing on a star
To put the happiness back in my heart and
[repeat chorus]
You put the red back in the rules
Just when I needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there’s colour everywhere
Everywhere
[bridge]
Left those hazy days behind me
Never to return again
Now they’re just a fading memory
‘Cause baby it’s all so clear to see
The beauty that is waiting there for me
[repeat chorus]
You put the red back in the rules
Just when I needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there’s colour everywhere
Everywhere
[coda]
A silver lining in my prayers
And now there’s colour everywhere
You came along to show you care
And now there’s colour everywhere
