Color Song (i Lost My Love) Lyrics - Jean Shepard

White's for the wedding that I'll never see blue is for heartaches that he gave to me 

Green were those two eyes that stole him 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 that they threw on his grave 

Yellow the flower that over him wave 

[ piano ] 

Black was the robe on the old judge that day 

White was my face when he said you must pay 

Blue are 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
