used to see in black and white
never any between
waiting on the love of my life
to come into my dreams
everything in shades of gray
never any 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

u, u put the blue back in the sky
u put the rainbow in my eyes
a silver lining in my prayers
and now theres color everywhere
u put the red back in the rose
just when i needed it the most
u came along to show u care
and now theres color everywhere, everywhere

my life is so predictable
never any mystery
but ever since u shined the light
all of that is history and now i have a hand to hold
and a reason to believe...
theres someone in my life worth living for
i was hangin' around just wishing on a star
to put the happiness back in my heart

and u, u put the blue back in the sky
u put the rainbow in my eyes
a silver lining in my prayers
and now theres color everywhere
u put the red back in the rose
just when i needed it the most
you came along to show u care
and now theres color everywhere
a silver lining in my prayers
and now theres color everywhere

left those hazy days behind me
never to return again
now theyre just a faded memory
cuz baby its all so clear to see
the beauty that is waiting there for me

u, u put the blue back in the sky
u put the rainbow in my eye
a silver lining in my prayers
and now theres color everywhere
u put the red back in the rose
just when i needed it the most
u came along to show u care
and now theres color everywhere
a silver lining in my prayers
and now theres color everywhere
u came along to show u care
and now theres color everywhere

now i have a hand to hold
and a reason to believe
